Chapter 3 Using the Host Input Import Tool
Host Input Import Syntax
Note that some fields are required only in that you must supply that information to make sure that the
host input succeeds and adds meaningful data to the network map. For example, you can add a fix to the
system without providing a fix identification number or fix name that matches an existing Cisco fix
definition and without mapping the third-party fix to a Cisco fix. However, even if that fix addresses
vulnerabilities on the host where you added it, those vulnerabilities cannot be marked invalid if the
system cannot map the fix to the vulnerabilities using an Cisco fix definition.

In general, supply as much information as possible for any data you import to ensure that the data can

Host Input Import Syntax
After you set the source ID and product map for your import file, as described in
, you can add lines to your import file to import the specific data you want to add to your
network map using various host input functions. Each import function call must end in a hard return and
imports one set of import data. For an example of a complete import file, see
imports one set of import data. For an example of a complete import file, see

Host Functions
You can use the host input API to add and remove hosts in the network map and to set operating system
definitions for hosts.

AddHost
You can use the
AddHost
function to add a host to the network map. You can add an IP host (a host with
an IP address and optionally a MAC address) or a MAC-only host (a host with only a MAC address).
Because hosts created using the API are not tracked by the system, these hosts are not subject to the
normal host timeout.
