We are looking to add names/port numbers to all the network rack diagrams.

How would this be created?

Are there more shapes we can create/import for network devices?

Hi Joe

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community! We'd love to see a screenshot in order to take a closer look. Are you referring to connecting to the individual nodes on the Ethernet Switch shape?

Unfortunately this isn't possible as they are not separate entities but instead are part of the larger shape similar to an image. Though you can manually overlay other shapes and labels to create your own custom icons!

Let us know if this is what you were looking for and if you have any additional questions.

Hi Shawn

Thanks for your post! You could accomplish this by grouping labels or numbers in text boxes with the network rack shapes. This Help Center article describes how you can do this. If you're looking to import additional network device shapes Lucidchart supports the import of SVGs and Visio Stencil files. If you have further questions please let me know.

is it possible to create "ICON SETS" on the ETHERNET NODES.  Example label one Network "A" with GREEN CIRCLE NODE B with Network "B" and Blue icon (CIRCLE). I have a screen shot if that helps.
