Zipper Network Configuration Audit

Introduction

As you know ziptie is a good configuration management and Nipper is a good configuration audit. What about if both of them is integrated? Well, Ziptie Community has provided a good plugin called Zipper. So, right after we backup our network configuration, we can audit it internally from ziptie.

But there are some limitations right now:

  • Run only on Windows Platform
  • Output format is HTML only
  • There is a problem to generate report on CatOS Switch

Quick How To

  1. Quit from Ziptie Client
  2. Download and unzip the Zipper crate (zip file) into the installation folder of the client.
  3. Run Ziptie Client
  4. Right Click on the Device to be audited (if you don’t see ‘Nipper’ menu, probably you put zipper plugin in the wrong directory)
