Forcepoint elements creator script

In forcepoint you have the means to import elements into the SMC. You can import csv host objects from a text file. If you want to create elements and deliver these to use I have a script that does groups , hosts and network elements and creates the finally formatted  xml files.

#  Script for CSV supplied customer data { e.g field1,field2,field3 }

#  Purpose of this script is to assist with building  a bulk list of  "hosts"  or "Networks" objects based on a customer provided "space" separated details in a text file

#

#  It should expedite any "Host or Network" elements, which can be easily imported into the SMC after zip compressing the xml datafile

# The hostfile must contains single line entries space separate hostname  and ipv4 address

# The networkfile must contains single-line entries csv separate network-name and network_number and netmask in dot.dot.dot.dot format or CIDR

# e.g    wwww1,1.1.1.1

#        wwww2,1.1.1.2

#        wwww3,1.1.1.3

# e.g    net10,10.0.0.0  8

#        net192.168.1.0,192.168.1.0,255.255.255.0

         ntwrk 10,10.0.0.0,8

# e.g    groupname

######### ensure names do not have any spaces  , try to use _ - enlew of spaces  in the names #############

#########  script does not check the validation of the network number and netmask ; nor the host ipv4 address format    ###########
