    Network diagram symbols?

    I'm trying to build a basic network diagram, really basic, nothing fancy what so ever, however, I am finding difficulty finding the 'visio' type icons / symbols via a google image search! - Does anyone know where I can find them?

    Just basics like routers, servers, workstations, patch pannels etc

    I know there are some natty tools which scan the network and do their own diagram, I don't want that as it doesn't work to well on our slightly obscure configuration!

    Right about now I've messed around with so many different ways of doing this I am about to sketch the thing in pencil and scan it in lol

    Re: Network diagram symbols?

    I was having the same issue recently and found a whole pile of symbols etc on the Cisco website.
    I haven't made enough posts so I can't post the URL though, however ....

    If you search for "cisco network diagram symbols" on Google.
    Then goto the Wikipedia page link for "Network_diagram"
    The Cisco Symbolization section contains a link to the relevant Cisco page with the downloads

    I thought since it was my first post, I would try and be useful
    Hopefully that is what you are looking for, or it could be overkill .....

    Excellent first post. Don't need those symbols now but could come in handy later.

    It is a little, but it is an anti spam measure. Stops people bombarding the forums with URLs to rank highly on Google etc. from the word go.

    You can obfuscate URLs though, for instance forums. hexus .net/operating-systems-applications/146271-network-diagram-symbols.html is this thread, it is readable but not linkable by the forum software.

    For more on post count rewards, see here: http://forums.hexus.net/welcome-hexu...t-rewards.html


    And just to help anyone else out, here is the Wikipedia page and here is the Cisco page

    ChrisC418 - Indeed an excellent first post - many thanks, this will come in very useful - downloaded and bookmarked

    Stoo - Giffy - This looks very interesting, ill give this a look in two ticks, thanks for the linkage.

    b0redom - I have Dia installed already, it wasn't bad perhaps I should give it another chance again.

    *goes off to make IT Infra plan* hehe

    Re: Network diagram symbols?

    OK, carrying on this thread, does anyone know of a good source of icons/symbols for audio/video hardware?

    Once I have upgraded and added to my collection of computers and my TV/AV system I'me going to need to re-cable a lot of stuff. I want to plan out the best way of doing it so I don't end up spending a bunch of cash on un-used cabling (not that i spend a lot per meter on cables )

    OK, i've tried playing with Dia, but I don't like it, and it won't really do what I want.

    Any suggestions for programs that will let me design my cable runs? Or will I just plan it in Word?
