GitHub - Repository

tczauderna

Dear Team,

I would like to propose the creation of an official GitHub repository for Zyxel, where scripts and solutions for specific use cases can be shared. Currently, there is a lack of repositories containing ready-made templates and scripts, similar to what competitors like Fortigate offer. The repository could include:

• Ansible Templates: Automating the configuration and management of Zyxel devices.
• Terraform Templates: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for deploying and managing network resources.
• Integrations with Wazuh: Security monitoring and incident management.
• Zabbix Templates: Performance and availability monitoring for Zyxel devices.

Benefits of Creating a GitHub Repository:

1. Increased Community Engagement:
   • Allowing users and developers to co-create and improve scripts and solutions.
   • Building an active community around Zyxel products.
2. Faster Deployments:
   • Providing ready-made templates and scripts will enable faster and more efficient solution deployments.
   • Facilitating integration with existing tools and systems.
3. Improved Quality and Security:
   • Collaborative work on scripts will lead to quicker detection and fixing of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
   • Regular updates and support from the community.
4. Enhanced Competitiveness:
   • Offering a GitHub repository will help Zyxel stand out from the competition and attract new customers.
   • Demonstrating that Zyxel is open to collaboration and innovation.
5. Education and Support:
   • The repository can serve as a source of knowledge and educational materials for users and administrators.
   • Providing easy access to documentation and usage examples.

I hope this proposal will be of interest and contribute to the further development and success of Zyxel.

Hi @tczauderna,

Thank you for your detailed proposal regarding a Zyxel GitHub repository. Before our product team evaluates further, could you share:

1. What specific automation scripts or templates you've already created for Zyxel devices? 
2. What Zyxel devices do you have?

This would help us understand your practical experience and use cases.

Looking forward to your response.

Sorry for the delay, I had to focus on my current duties. Unfortunately, I will not provide examples now because I do not have access to the infrastructure of some clients. Natomaist very often I acted in the way I generated configurations for 1 port and in petalch bash / python I duplicated it. Example of the use of port naming per user who was assigned in a given place, I had this connection with general company directories and when I created a user, e.g. in ad I assigned a position, a place I had a port automatically described. In addition, the user group defined QOS for users with Internet access, there was less priority for users from the group, e.g. CAD ERP, the priority was raised. I delivered the code on the switch using copy paste
