Are there any batch add network object interfaces?

When I batch add 200 network objects, it takes almost 10 minutes!That's not acceptable

To my knowledge the batch function is only for Access Rules. That said, I haven't revisited the newer options in the FMC's API for 6 months or so.  If you know of some change that would allow batching of Network Objects we could look into adding it.  (Or you can.)  :-)

I use the 'bulk=true' parameter when posting network groups. I believe the same can be used for network objects.

def fmcapi_post_bulk(fmc, post_data): api_path = '/object/networkgroups?bulk=true' post_resp = fmc.send_to_api(method='post', url=fmc.configuration_url+api_path, json_data=post_data)

Sweet! Care to submit a PR with the code that works?

Sure, I can do that.

nice job! Could you post some usage examples?

Separate from this issue (and I can create a new one if you want), adding the virtualtunnelinterfaces which was added to API in 6.7 would be really nice to have. VTIs being missing from Firepower has been a big issue for me for a while but since they are now added and in the API would be nice to add to your library

nice job! Could you post some usage examples? Sorry it taken me a while to get back to you, but here's an example:

Also worth the mention if you don't find the solution here for bulk object, port, object-group (port or object) you can use the Cisco import tool for that. It give a nice compare and shows if stuff is already in use. While I think it would be cool to have a nice tool that does everything I have to look at options I have available that are the most efficient and ready to use. Great enhancement idea though. :)
