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 -- Brian Hartsfield

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. :)
