visio stencil for OPNsense hardware

Dear Community,
The Deciso team confirmed me that there is no Microsoft Visio Stencil available for the OPNsense appliances.
I'm then asking the community is there is anything out there that I'm not aware of which I could use for my Visio diagram ? I guess anything with the same amount of port would do the job, (more specifically for my DEC4610 but I guess people would be happy to have the other model covered too).
Please let me (us?) know !

Cisco's network device icons have become the de-facto standard. I use them throughout but then I have been working in network engineering for almost 30 years mainly on Cisco gear. They are freely available here:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/brand-center/network-topology-icons.html
For Mac users with OmniGraffle they can be found here:

Just use the "firewall" symbol
HTH,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Some constructors provide a more details stencils ( where you can pin-point to the exact port), example here on a neatgear switch :
Most of them are available on this github repo btw:

I never draw like this. Logical high level diagrams only. Port assignments are documented in the port descriptions and then easily available in e.g. Observium.

Patrick is kinda right here,
The default Cisco stencils are used by default for everything. Personally When I did my diagrams for my Home network I used the CISCO ones just customized it by providing addition Logo for OPNsense for example so it looks nicer.
In regards of port assignment on diagrams, I do HLD as well LLD, and if we need to (always I do it) mark a point on the diagram we use rectangle shapes.

Exactly what we discovered a long time ago once devices with high port density were used. It's an unredeemable mess in diagrams. So HLD has high level logical. LLD has port assignments in tables.

Correct,
I forgot to point out in Diagrams are draw only infrastructure related ports/Uplinks between environments.
Doing this for every port on a Diagram for devices like NEXUS with FEX blades.... Just no.
