Log in

Import Cisco Defense Orchestrator address objects into Cisco Multicloud Defense from the controller dashboard, and confirm that the shared object count updates.

Note

You do not have to enable dynamic sharing in the Security Cloud Control dashboard to import objects to Multicloud Defense.

Use the following procedure to manually import Security Cloud Control objects into Multicloud Defense using the Multicloud Defense Controller dashboard:

Procedure

  1. Log into Security Cloud Control and in the left pane, click Multicloud Defense.

  2. Click Multicloud Defense Controller located in the upper right to cross-launch into the controller dashboard.

  3. Navigate to Policies > Security Policies > Addresses.

  4. Click Import Objects.

  5. From the pop-up window of Security Cloud Control objects, scroll or use the search bar to locate an individual object.

    Note: Objects with names that contain "." are not supported by Multicloud Defense at this time. Attempting to share or import objects with periods in their name results in an error message.

  6. Select the object so it is highlighted and click Import. You can click Cancel at any point to back out of the action.

What to do next

Allow a few minutes for Multicloud Defense to communicate with Security Cloud Control and synchronize the object you imported. From the Security Cloud Control dashboard you will be able to see an updated shared object count in the "Multicloud Defense Shared Object" widget.
