Cisco ISE Bulk Endpoint Update via Python

MikeKilo — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 00:25:38 GMT

Hey guys,

I think I posted my original question in the wrong community.

I'm by no means a Python dev, so I hope I'm able to explain myself clearly. I'm trying to use the Python example I was given below.

https://community.cisco.com/t5/security-documents/ise-ers-api-examples/ta-p/3622623#toc-hId--1168612210

What I need to get this script to do, is read the endpoints from a CSV and post the updates to ISE in bulk.

To simplify I guess, I want to Bulk update my endpoints I have in ISE with the new IdentityGroup and AuthorizationPolicyMatchedRule using a script.

Cisco apparently doesn't have such a script or a template to bulk update. Does anyone here have something like that please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you use the SDK browser on your ISE installation (...:9060/ers/sdk), there is a whole section on Bulk operations.

Just an FYI, Bulk only supports XML, it does NOT support JSON.

I see that SDK doesn't provide an xml template to do a bulk update. It appears that it only shows that it is possible. Where does one get one of the xml templates?

You would do a endpoint/bulk/{bulkid}

and the result would be your example. Modify the xml with Python and then bulk/submit.
