Cisco ISE continuous Alarsm on every 2 minutes

Hi,
We have cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE) with Active/Standby deployment with the version 1.1.0.665 on both.
We can see the number of alarms geneated so far in >60000 and every 2 minutes time we get one alarm on the dashboard saying "Alarm caused by ISE - System Health Issue".
Can anyone please advise what is the exact reason, whether it is false alarm, will this affect for the live users, is there a patch to resolve this issue?.
Please see the attached are taken from the ISE.
thanks in advance..

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I issue the dir disk:/ and found some files with more capacity being used (*.hprof)
So I just want to re-confrm that can I delete the following files,

Below is the screenprint of dir disk:/ output.
in that case will there be any effect for the operation of ISE as I'm worry that this is now completely on production with all the users in the network.

Cisco ISE being down alsmost every day for approx. a minute

Hi,
our monitoring tool says ISE (1.2) is alsmost every night down for about a minute. Mostly it's about 4am (that's where ISE checks if there is something to purge), but mostly it's between 0 am and 4am.
Do you have a idea which logs I could check to see what happened?
(There is nothing wrong with our monitoring system, I was able to distinguish that). So there has to be something with ISE.
Thanks!
KR

Hi Rasika,
it's ICMP based, if it's 2 times down for 5seconds each time (so if it's down for 10seconds), the device is considered to be down. Sometimes ISE is down for longer than 1minute.
It has also nothing to do with our network.
I've configured backups 1x per month (operational and configuration logs, but backup is being done not on the same day).
And data purging check is being done every night at 4am, I checked data purging audit log and downtimes, but as I said, downtimes are different. E.g today it was down at 04:51 am and 05:05 am. Then on 30.08 at 03:53am, 03:11am,02:40am,01:29am,00:01am,
then on 29.08 at 11:59 pm, 03:35am,01:36am,05:06am
then on 28.08. at 05:03 and 04:59 (this time it was just the sponsor-page, which wasn't reachable, the IP of the device was pingable) and on the same day also at 04:29am
then on 26.08 at 04:15am
then on 25.08 at 09:28PM
So that's why I need helpful logfiles. Today I went through ALL logs available with command: show logging system, but I couldn't find anything.

Purple LED flashing every minute

I cannot find the source of this Purple LED that flashes every minute. It even flashes when in Bedside Mode.
I have looked through all Apps in Settings >> Notifications.
I had an App called 'Power Tools' installed. This allows for the changing of LED colours, but I never implemented the app, and did check all possible LED changes in the App, but none were set. I have since removed the App, but the LED continues to blink every minute.
Can anyone give an idea of where to look for possible sources of this blinking LED?
Thanks very much !

Probably not, the LED uses very very CPU and battery. You know how those little cheap LED lights you buy at cash register checkout counters can last for years....?
I don't see the app that might causing it.
Look in your App World > My World > Apps ? Installed.
Anything like BeBuzz, Hub++ or something in there?

Call Manager Cisco SOAP - CDRonDemand Service restarts every 8-10 minutes

Hello there,
I just upgraded a customer to 10.5.1.10000-7 of call manager. Now the Call Manager Cisco SOAP - CDRonDemand Service restarts every 8-10 minutes.
I tried:
-rebooting the cluster (pub and sub)
-restarting the CDR and Soap related servers
-turning off CDR under service parameters and restarting services.
Any other thoughts? all replication reports look good
thanks

Hi,
you have probably only two options. Let a TAC person look into it if you really want to know whats wrong.
The other option would be to deactivate "Cisco SOAP - CDRonDemand Service" since no appplication is using CDR on demand. That service is only used when an application is pulling CDR records derectly out of the database which seems not be the case.

CWA using Cisco ISE issue

Good morning everyone,
I have some trouble to use my Cisco ISE to do Central Web Authentication. I followed this following configuration example : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine/116087-configure-cwa-wlc-ise-00.html
But for the moment, clients can't seee the web portal. My WLC and my Cisco ISE are well configured as presented in the document, when clients connect to the AP, they are listed into the Cisco ISE with the good authorization profile but, the URL redirection doesn't work as well as I want, clients have to enter manually the IP address in the web browser to log-in trough the Cisco ISE.
If anyone already had this problem, maybe could tell me more about that.
Thanks in advance!

Good news!
I have resolved my problem 15 minutes ago. For people who have the same problem, I have just changed my static route in my WLC. The issue was that I broadcast the same VLAN used for the management interface and in adding the network allowing admin to reach service-port, all traffic of my broadcasted VLAN was sent to the service-port. A simple netmask modification resolved the problem.
I have still a problem with CoA which doesn't work properly and I have to disconnect/reconnect to the SSID to have a complete access but I'm going to continue my research for that.
Thanks all for your help !!!!

Cisco ISE patching find out

Hi all,
Would like to find out on patching process on inline posture node.
My topology is one ISE appliance node type is Admin/Policy Service Node; while another unit is inline posture node.
Both appliance have the identical software versiona and patch, namely 1.1.3.124, patch 2
I would like to update it to patch version 4.
My question:
01. If i apply the patch on the Admin/Polic Service Node using GUI patch maangement, will this also apply the patch to Inline Posture node?
02. Or should i use console into Inline Posture node and using CLI way to update the patch? Anything i should mention in this process, example: stop application etc?
Please advice, million thanks

Apache Struts2 command execution   vulnerability
Cisco ISE includes a version of Apache   Struts that is affected by the vulnerabilities identified by the following   Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) IDs: CVE-2013-2251. This fix   addresses the potential impact on this product.
Managing Software Patches
You can install patches on ISE servers in your deployment from the primary administration node. ISE patches are usually cumulative; however, any restrictions on the patch installation will be described in the README file that will be included with the patch. Cisco ISE allows you to perform patch installation and rollback from either the command-line interface (CLI) or GUI.
Standalone Deployment
When you install or roll back a patch from a standalone or primary administration node, ISE restarts the
Application. You might have to wait for a few minutes before you can log back in.
Distributed Deployment
When you install or roll back a patch from the primary administration node that is part of a distributed deployment, Cisco ISE installs the patch on the primary and all the secondary nodes in the deployment. If the patch installation is successful on the primary node, Cisco ISE then proceeds to the secondary nodes. If it fails on the primary node, the installation is aborted. However, if the installation fails on any of the secondary nodes for any reason, it still continues with the next secondary node in your deployment.

Help with cisco ISE 1.1.2.145 patch-3 to ISE 1.2.0.899-2-85601 upgrade procedure

Need help from ISE experts/gurus in this forum.
Due to a nasty bug in Cisco ISE (bug ID CSCue38827 ISE Adclient daemon not initializing on leave/join), this bug will make the ISE stopping working completely and a reboot is required (very nice bug from cisco) . This leaves me no choice but to upgrade to version 1.2.0.899-2-85601.
Scenario:
- 4 nodes in the environment running ISE version 1.1.2.145 patch 3
- node 1 is Primary Admin and Secondary Monitoring - hostname is node1
- node 2 is Secondary Admin and Primary Monitoring - hostname is node2
- node 3 is Policy service node - hostname is node3
- node 4 is Policy service node - hostname is node4
Objective: Upgrade the ISE environment to ISE version 1.2 with patch version 1.2.0.899-2-85601.
My understand is that I have to upgrade the existing environment from ISE version 1.1.2.145 patch 3
to ISE version 1.1.2.145 patch 10 (patch 10 was released on 10/04/2013) before I can proceed with
upgrading to ISE version 1.2 and patch it with 1.2.0.899-2-85601.
Can I patch my exsiting environment from 1.1.2 patch 3 to patch 10 prior to upgrading to version 1.2.0.899-2-85601?
I look at Cisco website and patch 10 was released on 10/04/2013 while version 1.2 was released back in 07/05/2013.
I am trying to get a definite answer from Cisco TAC but it seems like they don't know either.
Question #1: How do I proceed with upgrading the current ISE environment from 1.1.2.145 patch 3 to 1.1.2.145 patch 10?
Propose solution:
step #1: make ISE node1 to be both Primary Admin and Primary monitoring. ISE node2 is now Secondary Admin and Secondary Monitoring.
         Then go ahead and apply ISE version 1.1.2.145 patch 10 to ISE node2 via the GUI,
step #2: Once ISE node2 patch 10 is completed, make node2 Primary Admin and Primary Monitoring. At this point, apply ISE 1.1.2.145 patch 10
         to ISE node1 via the GUI,
step #3: Once ISE node1 patch 10 is completed, make node1 Primary Admin and Secondary Monitoring and node2 Secondary Admin and Primary Monitoring,
step #4: apply ISE 1.1.2.145 patch 10 to ISE Policy Service node3. Once that is completed, verify that node2 is working and accepting traffics,
step #5: apply ISE 1.1.2.145 patch 10 to ISE Policy Service node4. Once that is completed, verify that node2 is working and accepting traffics,
Question #2: How do I proceed with upgrading the current ISE environment from 1.1.2.145 patch 10 to ISE version 1.2 with patch version 1.2.0.899-2-85601?
Propose solution:
step #1: Make ISE node1 the Primary Admin and Primary monitoring. At this point ISE node2 will become Secondary Admin and Secondary Monitoring
step #2: Perform upgrade on the ISE node2 via the command line "application upgrade <app-bundle> <repository>". Once ISE node2 upgrade is completed, it will
          form a new ISE 1.2 cluster independent of the old cluster,
step #3: Perform upgrade on the ISE Policy Service node3 via the command line "application upgrade <app-bundle> <repository>". After the upgrade the ISE
          Policy Service Node3 will automatically joins the ISE node2 which is already in version 1.2
step #4: Perform upgrade on the ISE Policy Service node4 via the command line "application upgrade <app-bundle> <repository>". After the upgrade the ISE
          Policy Service Node4 will automatically joins the ISE node2 which is already in version 1.2
step #5: At this point the only node remaining in the 1.1.2.145 patch 10 is the ISE node1 Primary Admin and Primary Monitoring
step #6: Check and see if there are any more PSN's registered in ISE node1 (there should not be any)
step #7: Perform the upgrade on the ISE node1 from command line "application upgrade <app-bundle> <repository>"
step #8: Once upgrade on ISE node1 is complete, ISE node1 will automatically join the new ISE 1.2 cluster,
step #9: Make ISE node1 Primary Admin and Secondary and ISE node2 Secondary Admin and Primary Monitoring,
Question #3: How do I proceed with upgrading the current ISE environment from 1.2 patch0 to 1.2.0.899-2-85601?
Propose solution:
step #1: make ISE node1 to be both Primary Admin and Primary monitoring. ISE node2 is now Secondary Admin and Secondary Monitoring.
         Then go ahead and apply ISE 1.2.0.899-2-85601 to ISE node2 via the GUI,
step #2: Once ISE node2 1.2.0.899-2-85601 is completed, make node2 Primary Admin and Primary Monitoring. At this point, apply 1.2.0.899-2-85601
         to ISE node1 via the GUI,
step #3: Once ISE node1 patch 10 is completed, make node1 Primary Admin and Secondary Monitoring and node2 Secondary Admin and Primary Monitoring,
step #4: apply ISE 1.2.0.899-2-85601 to ISE Policy Service node3. Once that is completed, verify that node2 is working and accepting traffics,
step #5: apply ISE 1.2.0.899-2-85601 to ISE Policy Service node4. Once that is completed, verify that node2 is working and accepting traffics,
does these steps make sense to you?
Thanks in advance.

David,
A few answers to your questions -
Question 1: My recommendation is to follow vivek's blog since most fixes and upgrade steps are provided there - I would recommend installing the patch that was release prior to the 1.2 release date since the directions to "install the latest patch" would put you at the version of when the ISE 1.2 was released
https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/security/aaa/blog/2013/07/19/upgrading-to-identity-services-engine-ise-12
You do not have the ability to install ISE patch through the GUI on any of the "non-primary" nodes (you can use the cli commmand to achieve this), the current patching process was designed so you can install the patch on the primary admin node and it will then roll the patches out to the entire deployment (one node at at time). I painfully verified this by watching the services on each node and when a node was up and operational the next node would start the patching process. First the admin nodes then the PSNs.
Every ISE upgrade that I have attempted as not been flawless and I can assure you that I have done an upgrade on 1.1.2 patch 3 and this worked fine, however I used the following process. You will need the service account information that is used to join your ISE to AD.
I picked the secondary admin/monitoring node and made it a standalone node by deregistering (much like the old procedure) in your case this will be node2.
I backed up the certificates from the UI and the database from the CLI (pick the local disk or ftp-your choice).
I reset the database and ran the upgrade script (since I did not have access to the vsphere console or at the location of the non UCS hardware [for a 1.1.4 upgrade]).
Once the upgrade was completed I then restored the 1.1.x database, ISE 1.2 now has the ability to detect the version of the database that is restored and will perform the migration for you.
Once the restore finished, I then restored the certificate and picked one of the PSNs
backup the cert,
Had the AD join user account handy
reset-db,
and run the upgrade script.
Once that is done I then restore the cert
Join the PSN to the new deployment
Join both nodes to AD through primary admin node
Monitor for a few days (seperate consoles to make sure everything runs smooth)
If anything doesnt look or feel right, you can shut down the 1.2 PSN and force everything through the existing 1.1.2 setup and perform some investigation, if it all goes smooth you can then follow the above step for the other two nodes, starting with the last PSN and the the last admin node.
Thanks and I hope that helps,
Tarik Admani

Cisco ISE with both internal and External RADIUS Server

Hi
I have ISE 1.2 , I configured it as management monitor and PSN and it work fine
I would like to know if I can integrate an external radius server and work with both internal and External RADIUS Server simultanously
So some computer (groupe_A in active directory ) will continu to made radius authentication on the ISE internal radius and other computer (groupe_B in active directory) will made radius authentication on an external radius server
I will like to know if it is possible to configure it and how I can do it ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Blaise

Cisco ISE can function both as a RADIUS server and as a RADIUS proxy server. When it acts as a proxy server, Cisco ISE receives authentication and accounting requests from the network access server (NAS) and forwards them to the external RADIUS server. Cisco ISE accepts the results of the requests and returns them to the NAS.
Cisco ISE can simultaneously act as a proxy server to multiple external RADIUS servers. You can use the external RADIUS servers that you configure here in RADIUS server sequences. The External RADIUS Server page lists all the external RADIUS servers that you have defined in Cisco ISE. You can use the filter option to search for specific RADIUS servers based on the name or description, or both. In both simple and rule-based authentication policies, you can use the RADIUS server sequences to proxy the requests to a RADIUS server.
The RADIUS server sequence strips the domain name from the RADIUS-Username attribute for RADIUS authentications. This domain stripping is not applicable for EAP authentications, which use the EAP-Identity attribute. The RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the RADIUS-Username attribute and strips it from the character that you specify when you configure the RADIUS server sequence. For EAP authentications, the RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the EAP-Identity attribute. EAP authentications that use the RADIUS server sequence will succeed only if the EAP-Identity and RADIUS-Username values are the same.

Cisco ISE 1.2 AD Auth and Internal Auth on Same SSID?

Hello everyone... I'm fairly new to Cisco ISE 1.2 and am looking to try and setup a certain configuration. I'm trying to figure out how to create what amounts to a BYOD dmz'd wireless network that is PEAP based (or tls) but authenticates known users (employees from AD groups) but for users not found in those AD groups uses the internal user database and/or Web Auth? Make sense?
So, I of course can get the Authentication/Authorization policies configured for PEAPTLS and make to AD based on group and provide a VLAN number. No problem... I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how to combine the internal users or web auth users in this mix on the same ssid? I know by reading the ISE statement that the authentication policy if PEAP/TLS, ect is used, then a user not found is rejected and does not continue... Can someone provide an example as to how to accomplish this?
As a side note in 1.2, is there the ability to limit the number of consective logins as in ACS, outside of guess access only? What about in 1.3, which makes me nervous to upgrade in reading the instructions and the 'newness' of it.
Thank you for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

I'd like to confirm if the required changes in the VM server were
made, as there are a few changes in the ISE OS. The changes required are
listed in the release notes, under "VMware Operating System to be
Changed to RHEL 5 (64-bit)". Here's a direct link to the relevant section:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ise/1.2/release_notes/ise12_rn.html#wp384531
Other causes can be :-
certificate issue on ISE or not enough disk space.

How Cisco ISE 1.2 Base licenses are consumed and tracks concurrent endpoint connected to network

Hello
I am interested to know how the cisco ISE 1.2 base licences are consumed. As the cisco ise 1.2 user guide "The Base License is consumed whenever an authentication notification is received by Cisco ISE."
Based on the above statement i have following queries :-
Radius being the UDP based request, its only during the time endpoint is authenticated and authorized the base license is consumed and then its is released. Then how does cisco ISE tracks the concurrent endpoints connected to the network.
Thanks
Kumar

thanks for the reply Tarik.
As I understand, you mean that a base license is consumed by every radius authentication request and then the license is free to be utilised again
Also would this means if Radius accounting is turned off, then concurrent sessions will not be tracked.
Thanks
Kumar

Cisco ISE and SecurID Integration Questions

I'm looking for some clarity trying to understand something conceptually. I want to integrate Cisco ISE with RSA SecurID, the idea being that if the user authenticates with RSA SecurID they end up on one VLAN, however, if they don't authenticate with (or don't use, or don't have) SecurID they'll end up on another VLAN. Note that I'm not using SecurID for wireless access...all PCs are wired to Ethernet.
We have been using RSA SecurID for a while and are currently on version 8.0. Our users are authenticating via the RSA Agent typically on Windows 8.1. Instead of the usual Windows login prompt, the RSA Agent first prompts for the username and passcode (they use an app on their smartphones to get the passcode), then after a moment or two, it prompts for their Windows domain password.
We have recently installed Cisco ISE version 1.3. With the help of a local Cisco engineer and going through the "Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide", I have it set up and running along with a few 'test' ports on our Cisco 6809 switch, it basically works...as a test it's simply set up that if they authenticate they're on one VLAN, if not, they end up on another (this is currently without using RSA...just out-of-the-box Windows authentication).
The Cisco engineer was unable to help me with RSA SecurID, so pressing on without him, out of the same user guide I have followed the directions for "RSA Identity Sources" under the "Managing Users and External Identity Sources", and that went well as far as ISE is concerned; I am now ready to get serious about getting ISE and SecurID working together.
My mistake in this design so far was assuming that the RSA agent on the Windows client PCs would communicate with Cisco ISE...there doesn't seem to be a way to have them point to a non-RSA SecurID server for authentication. The concept I'm missing is what, or how, the end-user machine is supposed to authenticate taking advantage of both ISE and SecurID.
I have dug deeper into the Cisco ISE documentation but it seems heavily biased towards Wi-Fi and BYOD implementations and it's not clear to me what applies to wired vs wireless. Perhaps it's a case that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees, but I'm not understanding what the end-user authentication looks like. It apears that as I learn more about ISE, it should become the primary SSO source, that SecurID becomes just an identity source and the PC clients would no-longer directly communicate with the SecurID servers. That being the case, do I need to replace the SecurID client on the PCs and something else Cisco-ish fills this role? An agent for ISE? How do they continue to use their passcode without the RSA agent?
Thanks!

The external db not operation indicates that there is no communication between ACS and RSA. Did you fetch the package.cab file to analyse the auth.log file?
Have you already gone through the below listed link?

Cisco ISE 1.2.1 solution BYOD

Hi there.
I wanna setup Cisco ISE 1.2.1 solution for my wireless users.The solution will have 2 SSID.
SSID: Guest
This will be used with guest portal and self registration portal for guests. dedicated VLAN or dAcl will be applied
SSID:Employee
This will be used for all corporate devices with corporate machine certificates (EAP-TLS) corporate dAcl will be applied (permit ip any any)
This will also be used for BYOD devices. All devices that dosent have corporate machine certificate needs to authenticate by PEAP and MSCHAPv2. The device will go trough self provisiong process and gets BYOD certificate from dedicated BYOD CA server by SCEP. dAcl will be applied that only gives access to the internet.
I wanna hear about your experiences about this kind of setup. Pros and cons. What do you think?

1. PEAP is definitely a protocol that is protected and secure. The difference from EAP-TLS is that it only requires a server-side certificate which is used to create the secure (TLS) tunnel. After the tunnel is build then credentials are passed via the inner method which is usually MS-CHAPv2:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_Extensible_Authentication_Protocol
2. Once authentication happens then wireless traffic encryption would be handled by the encryption method chosen on the WLC which is usually AES:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard3. I don't have a configuration example that I can share since there are many different variables that can alter the configurations. For instance, certificate templates being used, AD structure, certificates used for PEAP, etc. Below are some sample documentations that I found on Cisco's site. They reference ACS but they should still give you a good idea on what is needed:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/113670-eap-authentication-00.html
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11567346/ise-and-eap-tlsI have also heard good things about Lab Minutes videos even though I have not watched them myself:http://www.labminutes.com/video/sec/ISE4. Yes, you can have ISE nodes communicate and sync over MPLS. You just need to make sure that you have enough bandwidth and that your round trip delay is less than 150ms5. I am not sure if it is possible NOT to show the guest credentials when registering for a guest account. I know they can be send via e-mail or sms but not aware of a way to prevent them from showing up on the screen.Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Cisco ISE 1.1.4 Patch 7 (Internal Endpoint Mac Addresses Getting Disppeared)

Hi Folks,
I am having issue that mac addresses which we are trying to add under Internal Endpoint Group for MAB getting disappear automatically after few minutes. We tried multiple mac addresses but result same. We can see the mac address which we added earlier but new mac address getting disappear. Is there any limit to add mac address under Internal Endpoint. We have following licenses.

Thanks

Tabish,
We'll update the latest patch and then look for the work around from any one of our Cisco experts

Cisco ISE for 802.1x (EAP-TLS)

I work for a banking organization and security is an area that needs to be improved continuously. I am planning on implementing Cisco ISE for 802.1x together with a Microsoft PKI for certificate issuing and signing.
I am currently trying to implement this in our test environment and I have managed to do a few basic bootstrapping tasks. I need someone to push me into the right direction as to how I can achieve what i am seeking.
I will use Cisco 2900 series switches on the access layer and a few HP switches as well which supports 802.1x.
I want to configure the ISE to process authentication requests using 802.1x EAP-TLS (Certificate Based). All the workstations on the domain needs to authenticate itself using the certificates issued to it by the Certificate Issuing Authority.
I have already managed to get the PKI working and have rolled out the certificates on all the workstations on the test environment. I can't seem to configure the Authentication portion on the ISE.
I request if someone can guide me or direct me to materials that can help achieve the above requirements. The guides available on the Cisco website are overwhelming and I can't seem to figure out how I am supposed to configure the authentication portion.

Hello Mubashir,
Many timers can be modified as needed in a deployment. Unless you are experiencing a specific problem where adjusting the timer may correct unwanted behavior, it is recommended to leave all timers at their default values except for the 802.1X transmit timer (tx-period).
The tx-period timer defaults to a value of 30 seconds. Leaving this value at 30 seconds provides a default wait of 90 seconds (3 x tx-period) before a switchport will begin the next method of authentication, and begin the MAB process for non-authenticating devices.
Based on numerous deployments, the best-practice recommendation is to set the tx-period value to 10 seconds to provide the optimal time for MAB devices. Setting the value below 10 seconds may result in the port moving to MAC authentication bypass too quickly.
Configure the tx-period timer.
C3750X(config-if-range)#dot1x timeout tx-period 10
