Configuring Host Input Clients
In addition to accepting host input commands from users on the Defense Center, the Defense Center’s 
host input service also accepts batch import files from authenticated host input clients on external hosts. 
You can use a host input client to process import files created for the host input import tool and then send 
the data to the Defense Center to add the information to your network map.
You can use the provided host input API reference client to process and send CSV data or to test your 
host input client connection to the Defense Center. 
Perform the following tasks to manage Defense Center and input client interaction:
Step 1
Establish an authenticated connection to the Defense Center.
See 
 for information about 
generating authentication credentials to establish an authenticated connection to the Defense Center.
Step 2
Set up a host input client:
  •
To use the Cisco-provided host input reference client, set up the reference client on the computer 
where you plan to run it. For more information, see 
.
For information on creating import files (also referred to as command files) that you will use your 
reference client to process, see 
  •
To use your own custom client, make sure it can locate and process the certificate to connect to the 
Defense Center. For information, see 
.
