Cisco ACS Engine appliance 1120 software upgrade

I want to upgrade my Cisco ACS Engine appliance 1120 from software version 3.3 to the latest version (5.x). How do I go about this? Someone should help please.

It is highly suspicious that you would have a 1120 appliance that is running 3.3
ACS 3.3 was with the ACS solution engine 1111, 1112 and 1113.
ACS 5 requires the appliance 1120/1121 so it requires an appliance change. I'm puzzled about how you could be running 3.3 for 1120 since there is no installation DVD for that.
As a general thing, one has to follow the ACS 5 migration guide on cisco.com that explains the process quite well. You need to go to acs 4.1/4.2 to migrate to 5.

  • Extra server on cisco ACS engine

    I'm a bit curious about the way the cisco ACS engine (the cisco-built hardware) sets up servers initially. Most of the documentation I have is for windows, so I was a bit confused when, after the initial configuration there were two "AAA Servers" shown in the configuration, one called "Self" with the IP address I defined, and the other with the name I defined and a different address.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Will it cause problems? and is there a way to get rid of it?
    Thanks

    That is a known issue with acs appliance, but nothing to worry about. Make sure you have this setting in acs,
    acs--->network configuration--->Proxy dis table---> Bring Deleverance1 in the fwd to box and your server name in the left box.
    Incase you dont see proxy dis table , then you need to enable it
    Interface configuration---> Advance option ---> Put a check in distribution table.

  • Clearing tcp sessions on the cisco acs secure appliance

    Hello,
    is there a possibility to view the number of tcp-session which are active on an acs secure appliance?
    Due to these hangups we have no connection to the appliance through web or console. So we are also interested in clearing the tcp-session instead of rebooting the appliance.
    Could somebody help us.

  • 2 Cisco WLC 5508 controllers and software upgrade 7.6.130 + FUS 1.9

    Hi
    I have two WLC 5508 controllers that need 7.6.130 and FUS 1.9 installed. (Current version 7.3 and FUS 1.7)
    Configuration: One controller is at Site A and the other controller is at Site B (two different states..)
    They're configured so that if Site A goes down, Site A AP's will failover to Site B and vice versa ..
    - What would be the recommended approach for upgrading the software to 7.6.130.0 (from 7.3) and also upgrading FUS 1.9 (from 1.7)?
    My plan was to download 7.6.130.0 to both controllers and pre-download the software to all AP's (about 100 total between both sites) and then reboot the controllers at night at the same time? Or one before the other? 
    Step 2. Install FUS 1.9 to each controller.
    I'm concerned over what might happen during the upgrade and AP failover etc..
    Thanks

    This is what I would do:
    Upload v7.6.130.0 to all WLCs and then use the pre image download to push the image to all access points. 
    Dont reboot the wlc
    Image swap in the access points so that v7.6.130.0 is primary
    Move all access point to one of the WLCs (A)
    Enable ap AAA authentication on the WLC that has no access points and the one you will work on first.  This prevents access points from joining  
    Reboot the WLC (A)
    Upload the FUS 1.9.0.0
    Reboot WLC (A) this takes up to 45 minutes
    When the WLC (A) comes back online, uncheck ap AAA authentication
    Move access points from WLC (B) to WLC (A)
    Enable ap  AAA authentication on  WLC (B)
    Perform all the other task you did earlier on WLC (A)
    That's it.

  • Cisco ACS 4.1 Windows License Key Question

    How do I obtain the license key for my Cisco ACS Server for Windows software v4.1?

    For acs windows, there is no license key. You need to purchase the acs software.
    During installation, it does not ask for any key.

  • Cisco acs 1120 upgrade to 4.2.1.15 help

    Hi All,
                I have cisco 1120 appliance downgrade from acs 5.0 to acs 4.2.0.124 , I need to upgrade to acs 4.2.1.15 . Does cisco 1120 acs appliance supports 4.2.1.15 , How can i upgrade to 4.2.1.15 from 4.2.0.124 .
                It requires any distribution server for upgrade process . Please suggest on this , Thank you

    Yes, you can upgrade it to 4.2.1.15 and you can download the version from the below listed link;
    http://tools.cisco.com/squish/d4e4A
    Here are the files you need to download:
    ACSse-Upgrade-Pkg-acs-v4.2.1.15-K9.zip
    ACSse-Upgrade-Pkg-appl-mng-v4.2.1.15-K9.zip
    NOTE: Please apply the management upgrade first and then software upgrade. ..
    Distribution server is a machine from where you can upload the patch onto the Cisco Secure ACS Appliance so If you will download the version on your laptop and upload it from there then that would be distribution server (Nothing special)
    Upgrade an appliance to 4.2.1.15

  • Cisco ACS 4.2 Solutions Engine replacement advice

    Hi everyone,
    I am hoping to get some advice on an upcoming upgrade.  We currently have a Cisco ACS 4.2 Solutions Engine.  (That's the physical appliance).  It is coming to end of support and we are looking to replace.  Here is what we use it for today:
    1. TACACS+ AAA for all routers and switches.  Gives us great reporting.
    2. PEAP Authentication for our wireless network off of a 5508 Wireless Controller.
    3. Machine Access Restrictions for our Wireless network.  (Basically Machine Authentication)
    I believe that is all we use it for today.  That said, hoping to get some of your opinions on a replacement.
    Any advice or opinions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Hi Josh,
      To add up to the above post, You will have to undergo the migration process from going to ACS 4.2 to ACS 5.4.
    Here is the migration guide:

  • WCS Software upgrade on WLSE appliance

    Hi
    I am having difficulty upgrading the software code of WCS. We have a WLSE appliance that was upgraded to a WCS. I have downloaded the latest WCS software code (7.0.172) unto my PC. However, I do not know how to upgrade the WCS, since the WLSE is a stand alone appliance running on Linux and the WCS is just a GUI interface hosted from the WLSE appliance. Please how do I go about this upgrade. Thanks

  • Should the Cisco Content Engines be used as a proxy appliance

    Should the Cisco Content Engine be use as a proxy appliance like a Blue Coat appliance, Squid cache engine, ISA server, etc...
    I am pretty sure it is but just need some feedback on past experiences. Customer would like to by a Cisco product for Web filtering/proxy.
    or is it strictly used to help with web base applications.

    HI,
    the CE is basically able to check every request it supports. If you are using 3rd level products like smartfilter, websense or webwasher you can use the features of those products to supress/forbid certain requests(i.e MSN etc.)

  • Cisco ACS 4.2 authenticating Cisco 4710 ACE appliance failed

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with Cisco ACS 4.2 authenticating Cisco 4710 ACE appliance.
    ACS4.2 has been configured to use both internal and external database. It's been working fine for a couple or years.
    Recently we bought a Cisco 4710 ACE appliance. When I use ACS4.2 internal username and password to login the Cisco 4710 ACE appliance, I have no problem. I can also see the passed authentication log on ACS4.2. However, if I use AD username and password, I couldn't login in. The message is "Login incorrect". I checked the failed attempts log on the ACS4.2, there was no log regarding the failed attempt. My AD username and password works fine on all other cisco routers and switches.
    I've posted my AAA configuration of the 4710 ACE below. ACE is running on the latest version A4(1.1). Please help.
    tacacs-server key 7 "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    aaa group server tacacs+ tac_admin
      server xx.xx.xx.xx
    aaa authentication login default group tac_admin local
    aaa authentication login console group tac_admin local
    aaa accounting default group tac_admin

    Hi,
    Since the ACS is receiving the request.
    Could you please ensure that In ACE on every context (including Admin and other) you have  following strings:
    tacacs-server host x.x.x.x key 7 "xxx"
    aaa group server tacacs+  tac_admin
       server x.x.x.x
    aaa authentication login default group  tac_admin local
    aaa authentication login console group  tac_admin local 
    aaa accounting default group x.x.x.x
    On ACS side for group named "Network  Administrators" you should configure in TACACS settting:
    1. Shell  (exec) enable
    2. Privilege level 15
    3. Custom attributes:
               shell:Admin*Admin default-domain
        if you have additional  context add next line
              shell:mycontext*Admin  default-domain
    After  loging to ACE and issuing sh users command you should see following
    User             Context                                                                  Line     Login Time   (Location)        Role   Domain(s)   
    *adm-x        Admin                                                                    pts/0   Sep 21 12:24  (x.x.x.x)    Admin   default-domain
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows Update for Cisco ACS appliance

    Due to the recent security alert from Windows I wish to make sure my systems are updated, but the cisco ACS appiance (cisco 1113) runs a specialized version of win2k with console access disabled. Is there any way get the windows critical security updates, and do I need to?

    If the patch is necessary on acs appliance then they will be releasing it soon.
    As of now we can't apply any windows patch on appliance.

  • ACS Engine IP always resets to 0.0.0.0

    Hi,
    We have a problem with our ACS engines. We have 2 ACS Engines and the problem is we cannot disable it as a DHCP client. When its ethernet connection goes down, its IP address resets to 0.0.0.0. The static IP address that we set on it does not retain when we unplug its ethernet connection. We're thinking that this is because the "DHCP enabled" is still set to "Yes" even though we have configured it to have a static IP. We have two new ACS engines and both have the same problem. Hope you guys can help.
    Thanks in advance.
