Add or Edit an API-Created Dynamic Object

This procedure discusses how to add or edit a dynamic object, which is a group of IP addresses using the API, with or without or classless inter-domain routing (CIDR), that can be used in access control rules much like a network object.

Note

This procedure is not necessary if you use the Cisco Secure Dynamic Attributes Connector because it automatically creates dynamic objects for you.

Before you begin

Consult the Firepower Management Center REST API Quick Start Guide for information about using the object services REST API to populate the IP object with an address. Dynamic objects do not require deployment.

Procedure

Step 1

Click Objects > Object Management.

Step 2

Click External Attributes > Dynamic Objects.

Step 3

Click Add Dynamic Object or Edit (edit icon).

Step 4

Enter a Name for the object and an optional Description.

Step 5

From the Type list, click IP.

What to do next

If necessary, update the dynamic object using the API. Deployment is not required.
