Nipper is a  Network Infrastructure  Configuration Parser.  Nipper takes
a network infrastructure  device configuration,  processes the  file and
details security-related  issues with detailed  recommendations.  Nipper
was previous known as CiscoParse.

By default, input is retrieved from stdin and is output (in HTML format)
to stdout.

Command:
    nipper [Options]

General Options:

    configuration file called ios.conf  and output  the report to a file
    called report.html.

    nipper --ios-router --input=ios.conf --output=report.html
