Cisco ISE Deployment suggestion required

Require Assistance on Cisco ISE Deployment for below scenario
-- We have Three Cisco ISE Appliances and Client has taken Advance Subscription License for 500 users
-- Client has DC & DR and needs to deploy the Cisco ISE in one Main Office which connects to DC & DR on MPLS Links
-- Client suggestion was to deploy one ISE node ( Admin + M&T + Policy Server ) in DC and its Standby Secondary in DR
     and only deploy Policy Server in Main Office.
     Idea behind the design is that ,
     1) If DC fails , Cisco ISE related logs will get generated on DR and any Cisco ISE related request will be taken care by Local Policy Server in Main Office .
      2) If Local Policy Server Fails , then ISE node in DC will act as Secondary backup and DR will act Teritary Backup
      below is view
                                     DC
                        Primary Node with Role

Meraki MDM and Cisco ISE

Has anyone done an integration of Meraki Systems Manager enterprise MDM and Cisco ISE? there is absolutely no documentation on the subject except for the Meraki announcement that lists:
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) integration – allows Systems Manager to directly communicate with ISE for device enrollment and posture assessment

Hidden in the Meraki blog is this configuration guide for Meraki SM and ISE.

Manually Patch Cisco ISE Deployment

Is there a documented process for manually installing patch bundles in ISE? We had a bad experience last spring with deploying Patch 8 through the "fire and forget" patch installation through the GUI. We have held off far too long on patching our 20 node deployment and I will be asked whether the process failure was due to Patch 8, or whether the patching process itself failed. Please let me know if there is a procedure on how one would go about manually patching a deployment via the CLI.
Thank you

install a patch from a primary administration node that is part of a distributed deployment, Cisco ISE installs the patch on the primary node and then all the secondary nodes in the deployment. If the patch installation is successful on the primary node, Cisco ISE then continues patch installation on the secondary nodes. If it fails on the primary node, the installation does not proceed to the secondary nodes. 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. Secondary Cisco ISE nodes are restarted consecutively after the patch is installed on those nodes. While installing a patch on secondary nodes, you can continue to perform tasks on the primary administration node.

Cisco ISE deployment with HP Swithes

Is there any compatibility matrix of cisco ISE with HP access swithes or there is any features restriction on HP access layer. The HP switches do support 802.1x.
Thanks
Qasim

Qasim,
The only compatibility with network access devices is all related to Cisco gear. It would be best to stick with a full supported solution for the sake of support. In my opinion this will be a nightmare to manage if an issue was to occur.
Thanks,

Cisco ISE Deployment

Dears,
We have 2 ISE server. I configured wired, wireless,vpn, guest user authentication from ISE server. All of them are normal working. Both of ISE server have same Image.(ver 1.2) I deployed ISE servers as HA. I register second ISE server at primary ISE server. I attached the configuration files.
I want one ISE device is primary( Administration, Monitoring and Policy are active in primary ISE) and the other ISE server is backup or standby. (Administration, Monitoring and Policy are standby). When the Primary ISE server is going to down then all AAA process is going through the secondary ISE server( it is like redundancy on ASA)
Is it possible to configure? If yes how I do this configuration?
Thank for your helping.

ISE 1.2 does not have an Automatic Failover for the Admin Nodes. If the primary node goes down, you have to manually promote the secondary node.
Until you promote the secondary, the deployment has very serious limitations:
So, you see, there is no true HA with Automatic Failover for ISE 1.2.You have to have both ISE servers on anyway and the Monitoring Persona is the only one that does support Automatic Failover, so it really does make sense to deploy your nodes as noted here:
Node1: Admin (Primary), Monitoring (Secondary), Policy Service
Node2: Admin (Secondary), Monitoring (Primary), Policy Service
The notes I referenced can be found in the ISE 1.2 User Guide.

Cisco ISE Deployment issue

Hi dears,
I deployed the ISE primary and secondary mode. Then I did deregister the secondary ISE at Primary ISE. Now i want to register the same second ISE as secondary mode on Primary ISE. but this error occur:
Unable to register SecondaryISE. Node is not a Standalone node.
I connect the secondary ISE and see deployement personas
Administration: Secondary
Monitoring: Secondary
Then I did promote to primary command after that ISE is log out but the problem is not solve.
version 1.20.8xx of both ISE's
How i solve this issue?
Thanks

try by promoting the secondary ISE which you have de-registered to standlone and try registering it on primary now

IOS 8.x Apple users and CISCO ISE native supplicant provisioning not working

Hi there guys ,
I was wondering if anybody else have the following problem:
Apple iOS 8.x users are not able to register their devices on the ISE portal (native supplicant provisioning).
After they receive the redirection from the WLC, they freeze. Apple 7.x users have no problem.
ISE is version 1.2.1.198 patch 2. WLC is running 8.0.102.14.
Anybody experienced the same?
MB

I am also running ISE 1.2.1.198 patch 2 with 8.0.100. I am testing with an iPad running IOS 8.1. The device will register in the registration portal, but is not being classified as an IOS device within client provisioning, I believe. It is getting profiled as a workstation even though all apple device profiles are enabled. I have an authorization policy for registered devices, and ipad, iphone, ios devices to gain access to the network without going through posture assessment. I then have my posture assessment authorization rules with apple IOS devices set for a ssid native supplicant profile. I keep getting an error page on the iPad when connecting to the ISE SSID saying "Client Provisioning Portal ISE is not able to apply an access policy to your log-in session at this time. Please close this browser, wait approximately one minute, and try to connect again". It gives this message over and over. If I turn off the posture checking authorization profiles, the IOS device is selected as a rule further down which tells me that ISE does not recognize it as an IOS device in the profiling or client provisioning.

IOS 8.0 our apple users and CISCO ISE customized portal [SOLVED]

Hi there guys ,
i wondering why after the update to iOS 8.0 our apple users , cannot
make it to the ISE authentication Portal , we make em connect thru a WLC wich
is redirecting to ISE ( radius server ) the web-auth process,
while if we use the internal portal (PIC2) of wlc 5508 the all process going well
after the update to 8.0 apple IOS , devices can't reach our customized portal
no more.....
anybody experienced the same?

Glad you got it working and good job on finding a solution to your problem (+5 from me). Also, thank you for taking the time to come back and share it.
If your issue is resolved you should mark the thread as "Answered" :)
One thing to also consider is CWA (Central Web Auth) instead of what you are doing which is LWA (Local Web Auth). It is always better to do CWA as there are many benefits to it.
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Inline Posture between Cisco ISE and Wireless LAN Controller

Hi,
I was looking into Cisco ISE solution for deploying NAC.
I have a question about the network topology.
In the user guide documents of cisco ISE, it is written that for Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC) and VPN devices, an additional server, Inline Posture, is needed.
However, in the following integration document, there is not an inline posture between WLC and Cisco ISE server.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-18121
I want to know if Inline Posture is a requirement, if not a requirement, what are the benefits of having it between Cisco ISE Server and WLC.
Thanks & Regards

Cisco ISE - multiple AD - trust relationships

Hello,
I have a customer who has multple AD forests and an ISE deployment running 1.1.3.
The customer scenario is as follows - there is an Internal AD forest (internal users) and an External AD forest (external users such as consultants). The objective is to use Cisco ISE to authenticate and authorize the users in both AD forests. CIsco ISE is connected to the Internal AD forest.
We know that multiple AD support is coming in 2014 with versioon 1.3 - other options such as LDAP/EAP-TLS are not a viable option for the customer.
1.       Currently – the Internal AD forest has an External, Non-transitive – one-way trust with the External Forest
     a.       The objective here is to use a feature called Selective Authentication in order to filter the outgoing requests from the External Forest to the Internal Forest – this is a selective trust feature that can be used to control access to specific resources in Internal Forest and for authentication between Internal/External Forest via Cisco ISE
     b.      Preliminary testing has shown that a one way trust seems to work for Cisco ISE authentication/authorization
     c.       Further testing is underway to test the Selective Authentication feature (ie restrict access to specific resources etc…)
Question : has any one used this and is this a supported method by Cisco (I know they mention a mutual trust relationship is required)?
2.       We are exploring a second scenario - the Internal AD forest will have an External, Non-transitive – two-way trust with the External Forest
     a.       Same objectives as in 1 – we would attempt to use the Selective Authentication in the following fashion (this is an example)
          i.      External Forest has outgoing filter to allow access to specific resources in Internal Forest, and for authentication
          ii.      Internal Forest has incoming filter to deny access to all resources in External Forest
In this case we would filter so it resembles a 1 way trust relationship - anyone try this, anyone know if this would be a supported method by Cisco?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Robert C.

Cisco has published a nice new guide on Active Directory integration with ISE 1.3. As noted there:
"Cisco ISE can connect with multiple Active Directory domains that do not have a two-way trust or have zero trust between them. Active Directory multi-domain join comprises a set of distinct Active Directory domains with their own groups, attributes, and authorization policies for each join."
I've setup one such deployment just recently and found it quite simple to just add the second domain and use it an en external identity source accordingly.

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
Noel

Cisco ISE Patch   Version 1.1.0.665—Patch 4 Resolved Caveats
Caveat
Description
CSCui22841
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.

Bundling Cisco ISE ports

Hello,
Cisco ISE user guide suggests that all 4 ports can be assigned IP addresses and that's that. No suggestions such as if the all ports should be on different VLANs or if the ports can be bundled, hence saving IP address space. I have read the book by ISE expert Aaron Woland and no suggestions either.
On a Standalone ISE, as soon as I configured Gi1 with a different IP subnet from Gi0, I lost GUI access. So my questions are as follows:
1. Can all 4 ports be bundled
2. If no bundling and all 4 ports are assigned IP addresses, can they be on different IP subnets, whether Standalone or Distributed personas. For example a PSN with 4 ports. Gi0 - 10.0.10.x, Gi1 - 172.16.5.x, Gi2 - 172.16.8.x, Gi - 10.2.5.x
Thanks
