Introduction to Cisco Identity Services Engine

Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a security policy management platform that provides secure access to network resources. Cisco ISE allows enterprises to gather real-time contextual information from networks, users, and devices. An administrator can then use this information to make proactive governance decisions by creating access control policies for the various network elements, including access switches, wireless controllers, Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, Private 5G networks, and data center switches. Cisco ISE acts as the policy manager in the Cisco Group Based Policy solution and supports TrustSec software-defined segmentation.

Cisco ISE is available on Cisco Secure Network Server appliances with different performance characterizations, virtual machines (VMs), and on the public cloud.

Cisco ISE has a scalable architecture that supports standalone and distributed deployments, but with centralized configuration and management. It also enables the configuration and management of distinct personas and services, thereby giving you the ability to create and apply services where needed in a network, but operate the Cisco ISE deployment as a complete and coordinated system.

For detailed Cisco ISE ordering and licensing information, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Ordering Guide.

For information on monitoring and troubleshooting the system, see the "Monitoring and Troubleshooting Cisco ISE" section in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.

What Is New In This Release?

This section lists the new and changed features in Cisco ISE 3.4 and its patches.

New Features in Cisco ISE Release 3.4 - Cumulative Patch 1

Customer license usage in future Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) releases and patches will align with the Cisco ISE licensing tiers. Review the licensing tiers to ensure compliance.

Assign dedicated resources for join points

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, you can reserve resources for the join points in each PSN. This resource segmentation will help reduce the performance impact caused by resource sharing among the join points.

For more information, see "Assign dedicated resources for join points" in the Chapter "Asset Visibility" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Change of Authorization (CoA) for dictionary attributes using pxGrid Direct

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, you can enable Change of Authorization (CoA) for dictionary attributes using pxGrid Direct. When the value of a CoA-enabled dictionary attribute changes, a CoA Port Bounce or Reauthentication is performed on the impacted endpoint. For more information, see "Change of Authorization (CoA) for dictionary attributes using pxGrid Direct" in the chapter "Asset Visibility" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Dynamic Reauthorization Scheduler

Starting with Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1 release, you can enhance access control by setting a predetermined expiration date and time for each session, ensuring sessions remain active only until the specified expiration, thereby preventing unauthorized access.

For more information, see "Dynamic Reauthorization Scheduler" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Admin Guide, Release 3.4.

Enable PAP/ASCII in FIPS Mode

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, Cisco ISE allows configuration of the PAP/ASCII protocol in FIPS mode. You can enable RADIUS DTLS settings when configuring network devices to support the PAP/ASCII protocol in FIPS mode.

Full and Split Upgrade Support for Patches

You can upgrade to a new Cisco ISE release with or without a patch for that release. If you have already installed a patch for your Cisco ISE release, you can use the Patch option to upgrade only the patch in your current release.

You can choose the full upgrade or split upgrade option for a patch upgrade.

  • Full Upgrade: Full upgrade is a multistep process that enables a complete patch upgrade of all the nodes in your Cisco ISE deployment at the same time.

  • Split Upgrade: Split upgrade is a multistep process that enables the patch upgrade of your Cisco ISE deployment while allowing services to remain available during the upgrade process.

For more information, see "Software Patch Upgrade" in the chapter "Install Latest Patch" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Guide, Release 3.4.

Inbound and Outbound SGT Domain Rules

You can create inbound SGT domain rules to map incoming SGT bindings with specific SGT domains. If no rules are defined, bindings received from workload connectors are sent to the default SGT domain.

You can create outbound SGT domain rules to designate target destinations for specific SGT bindings.

For more information, see "Add Inbound SGT Domain Rules" and "Add Outbound SGT Domain Rules" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Integrate Cisco pxGrid Cloud applications using Integration Catalog

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, you can use a native integration catalog interface in Cisco ISE to integrate with Cisco pxGrid Cloud applications for a simplified integration experience. Cisco pxGrid Cloud apps can be integrated with Cisco ISE using the Integration Catalog (Administration > System > Deployment > Integration Catalog). You can integrate both single-instance and multi-instance Cisco pxGrid Cloud apps. For more information, see the Cisco pxGrid Cloud Solution Guide.

New pxGrid API: Endpoint topic

The Endpoint topic provides access to endpoints connected to a Cisco ISE-managed network device. For more information, see the Cisco pxGrid API Guide.

Preview Portal Customization

After making the changes in the Portal Page Customization page, you must click Render Preview to preview your content. You must click Refresh Preview every time to view the updated content.


Note


Rendering portal customizations with active content or scripts might pose a security risk. We strongly recommend that you review the scripts carefully before rendering.


For more information, see "Preview Portal Customization" in the chapter "Guest and Secure WiFi" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Security Identifiers in certificates will not be used for authentication

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, Cisco ISE supports a new format of certificates with Security Identifiers (SID).

The SIDs present in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) fields will not be used for authentication in Cisco ISE. This enhancement prevents authentication failures caused due to incorrect SID parsing in the authentication process.

SSHD service cryptographic algorithms enhancement

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, you can use the new algorithms under service sshd to manage a service using the Cisco ISE CLI. The following algorithms are newly added.

  • MAC-algorithm

  • Hostkey

  • Hostkey-algorithm

  • Key-exchange-algorithm

  • SSH-client-hostkey-algorithm

For more information, see the Cisco ISE CLI Reference Guide, Release 3.4.

Support ACI for Global Security Group

The naming convention for External EPGs (EEPGs) has changed from Cisco ISE Release 3.4 to Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1. In Cisco ISE Release 3.4, EEPGs are named "ISE_SGT_<SGT_TAG>", with "ISE_SGT_" as a constant prefix followed by the Security Group Tag (SGT). In Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, the format changes to "ISE_<SG_NAME>", using "ISE_" as the constant prefix followed by the Security Group (SG) name.

Note


This update lacks migration support, so EFT customers must disable outbound rules before installing Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1 and re-enable them after completing the patch installation.


Workload Classification Rules

Workload classification rules can be used to classify the workloads and to assign primary and secondary SGTs to the workloads. The primary SGT is marked as “Security Group” in the pxGrid session topic and is used to publish IP-to-SGT mappings via SXP. Secondary SGTs are included in the pxGrid session topic as an ordered array named “Secondary Security Groups”.

You can specify the order of classification rule execution. You can drag and drop the rules to change the order of priority.

For more information, see "Add Workload Classification Rules" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Workload Connectors

Common Policy is a framework for building and enforcing consistent access and segmentation policies, regardless of the domain. Workload Connectors are used in this framework to build secure connections with on-premise and cloud data centers, import application workload context, normalize that context into SGTs, and share the context with other domains for building policies.

For more information, see "Workload Connectors" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Workloads Live Session

The Workloads Live Session page displays the details about the live workload sessions. To view this page, in the Cisco ISE GUI, click the Menu icon and choose Operations > Workloads > Workloads Live Session.

For more information, see "Workloads Live Session" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

New Features in Cisco ISE Release 3.4

Automatic Log Bundle Generation On Upgrade

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, a mini log bundle, which contains only debug logs specific to the upgrade, is generated automatically during the upgrade process. This log bundle is copied to the repository from where the upgrade was started and can be used to troubleshoot the upgrade in case of failure. Automatic log bundle generation is available for all three upgrade options in Cisco ISE - full upgrade, split upgrade, and upgrade using CLI.

For more information, see the chapter "Perform the Upgrade" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Guide, Release 3.4.

Backup Log Improvements from the Cisco ISE CLI

The backup-logs CLI command has now been updated to include all backup log options that are available on the Cisco ISE GUI such as core-files, date-from, date-to, db-logs, debug-logs, local-logs, mnt-report-logs, policy-cache-logs, policy-conf-logs, and system-logs. If no output options are included, all backup logs are generated.

For more information on this CLI command, see "backup-logs" in the chapter "Cisco ISE CLI Commands in EXEC Mode" in the Cisco ISE CLI Reference Guide, Release 3.4 .

Certificate Authority Diagnostic Tool

To diagnose certificate management related issues, use the CA Diagnostic Tool option (option 37) in the application configure ise command. This tool suggests the possible reasons and remediations for the identified issues, helps to fix the issues, and provides related logs for troubleshooting.

For more information, see "Diagnose Certificate Management Related Issues" in the "Cisco ISE CLI Commands in EXEC Mode" chapter in the Cisco Identity Services Engine CLI Reference Guide, Release 3.4.

Cisco ISE Resiliency Use Cases

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, the Excessive RADIUS Network Device Communication and Excessive Endpoint Communication alarms have been added to maintain the resiliency of Cisco ISE. For more information, see "Cisco ISE Alarms" in the chapter "Troubleshoot" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Configure Virtual Tunnel Interfaces (VTI) with Native IPsec

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, you can configure VTIs using the native IPsec configuration. You can use native IPsec to establish security associations between Cisco ISE PSNs and NADs across an IPsec tunnel using IKEv1 and IKEv2 protocols. The native IPsec configuration ensures that Cisco ISE is FIPS 140-3 compliant. For more information, see "Configure Native IPsec on Cisco ISE" in the "Secure Access" chapter in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Create a URL Pusher pxGrid Direct Connector Type

You can create a pxGrid Direct connector using the Cisco ISE GUI and OpenAPI (REST API). From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, you can choose between a URL Fetcher pxGrid Direct connector type or a URL Pusher pxGrid Direct connector type. You can use the URL Pusher pxGrid Direct connector to push JSON data into the Cisco ISE database using pxGrid Direct Push APIs. You can use the URL Pusher pxGrid Direct connector type to push data without a server or a CMDB. This data remains in the Cisco ISE database and can be used in the authorization policy.

For more information, see "Create a URL Pusher Connector Type" in the "Asset Visibility" chapter in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4 and the Cisco ISE API Reference Guide.

Debug Log Settings

You can configure the maximum file size and the maximum number of files allowed for each debug log component. You can view the current disk space usage and the estimated space usage based on the values set for Max File Size and File Count in the Debug Level Configuration page. You can also specify the date and time after which these values must be reset to default.

For more information, see "Configure Debug Log Settings" in the chapter "Troubleshoot" in the Cisco ISE Administration Guide, Release 3.4.

Enhanced Password Security

Cisco ISE now improves password security through the following enhancements:

  • You can choose to hide the Show button for the following field values, to prevent them from being viewed in plaintext during editing:

    Under Network Devices,

    • RADIUS Shared Secret

    • Radius Second Shared Secret

    Under Native IPsec,

    • Pre-shared Key

    To do this, choose Administration > Settings > Security Settings and uncheck the Show Password in Plaintext checkbox.

    For more information, see "Configure Security Settings" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

  • To prevent the RADIUS Shared Secret and Second Shared Secret from being viewed in plaintext during network device import and export, a new column with the header PasswordEncrypted:Boolean(true|false) has been added to the Network Devices Import Template Format. No field value is required for this column.

    If you are importing network devices from Cisco ISE Release 3.3 Patch 1 or earlier releases, you must add a new column with this header to the right of the Authentication:Shared Secret:String(128) column, before import. If you do not add this column, an error message is displayed, and you will not be able to import the file. Network devices with encrypted passwords will be rejected if a valid key to decrypt the password is not provided during import.

    For more information, see the table in "Network Devices Import Template Format" in the chapter "Secure Access" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

GUI Enhancements in Cisco ISE Release 3.4

In Cisco ISE Release 3.4, the Cisco ISE GUI has the following enhancements to make the user experience more intuitive.

  • Single Click Access to Endpoint Information

    Objects in the Context Visibility page, such as the attribute details of endpoints in the Cisco ISE GUI, now have detailed information available to users with a single click.

    All endpoint attributes now appear on a single tab for ease-of-use and better visibility.

    You can click:

    • the MAC address of an endpoint to view all endpoint attributes on a single page.

    • the See full detail option on the top right corner of this page to view all endpoint details in a new browser tab, which you can also share.

    • the link icon next to the MAC address of an endpoint to open a full-page view of all endpoint details.

    The following pages have been updated to include these enhancements:

    • Context Visibility > Endpoints.

    • Work Center > Guest Access > Identities > Endpoints.

    • Work Center > BYOD > Identities > Endpoints.

    • Work Center > Network Access > Identities > Endpoints.

    • Work Center > Profiler > Endpoint Classification.

  • Retention of user preferences for column displays: When you change the column display of a table (adjust column width, hide or show columns, reorder columns, and so on) in the Cisco ISE GUI, your preferences are retained.

Hotpatch Details Added to Show Version Command

The show version CLI command now includes hotpatch details, if any, for a specific Cisco ISE release. For more information, see "show version" in the Chapter "Cisco ISE CLI Commands in EXEC Show Mode" in the Cisco ISE CLI Reference Guide, Release 3.4.

To view hotpatch details on the Cisco ISE GUI, click the icon and choose About ISE and Server.

Localized ISE Installation

While reinstalling Cisco ISE, you can use the Localized ISE Install option (option 25) in the application configure ise command to reduce the installation time. Though this option can be used for both Cisco Secure Network Server and virtual appliances, it significantly reduces the reinstallation time for Cisco Secure Network Servers.

For more information, see "Localized ISE Installation" in the Chapter "Cisco ISE CLI Commands in EXEC Mode" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine CLI Reference Guide, Release 3.4.

On-Demand pxGrid Direct Data Synchronization using Sync Now

You can use the Sync Now feature to perform on-demand synchronization of data for pxGrid Direct URL Fetcher connectors. You can perform both full and incremental syncs on-demand. On-demand data synchronization can be performed through the Cisco ISE GUI or using OpenAPI.

For more information, see "On-demand pxGrid Direct Data Synchronization using Sync Now" in the "Asset Visibility" chapter in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Opening TAC Support Cases in Cisco ISE

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, you can open TAC support cases for Cisco ISE directly from the Cisco ISE GUI.

For more information, see "Open TAC Support Cases" in the chapter "Troubleshoot" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Option to Add Identity Sync After Creating Duo Connection

If you do not want to configure user data synchronization between Active Directory and Duo while creating a Duo connection, click Skip in the Identity Sync page. You will be taken to the Summary page directly.

After you create a Duo connection, you can add identity sync configurations at any time.

For more information, see "Integrate Cisco Duo With Cisco ISE for Multifactor AuthenticationIntegrate Cisco Duo With Cisco ISE for Multifactor Authentication" in the Chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Enforcing Domain Controller Selection With Priority

You can now choose to override Cisco ISE's selection of domain controllers in case of a preferred domain controller failover. To do this, choose Administration > Identity Management > External Identity Sources > Active Directory > Advanced Tools > Advanced Tuning. Enter the REGISTRY.Services\lsass\Parameters\Providers\ActiveDirectory\PreferredDcAndGc\Priority\Enabled registry key in the Name field and 1 in the Value field. This ensures that in the case of a domain controller failover, Cisco ISE overrides the existing priority values and selects the next domain controller in the preferred list in the order of input from left to right. The value of this registry key is set to 0 by default.

When the REGISTRY.Services\lsass\Parameters\Providers\ActiveDirectory\PreferredDcAndGc\Priority\Enabled registry key is enabled, you can also choose to set the failback interval (in seconds). The failback interval value can be between 60 and 86400. The default failback interval is 180 seconds.


Note


This feature works only for direct domains that the domain controllers were configured on, and not for trust relationship domains.


For more information, see “Active Directory Advanced Tuning” in the Chapter “Asset Visibility” in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

PAC-less RADIUS Communication For TrustSec Integrations

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, Cisco ISE supports PAC-less RADIUS communication for TrustSec integrations. This PAC-less enforcement replaces PAC-based RADIUS authentications wherever supported and is enforced through a shared secret ensuring secure communication between Cisco ISE and the TrustSec device. This feature does not require configuration changes in Cisco ISE. The network devices in the deployment may require a change in configuration. PAC-less RADIUS communication is only supported on network devices with IOS-XE version 17.15.1 or higher.

Per-user Dynamic Access Control List Behavior Change

While evaluating authorization profiles with per-user dynamic access control lists (DACLs), if a DACL does not exist in Cisco ISE configuration, authorization will fail, and Cisco ISE will send an Access-Reject response to that user. You can view this information in the Live Log Details page and the AAA Diagnostics report. From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 onwards, an authorization failure alarm is also displayed in the Alarms dashlet in the Cisco ISE dashboard.

For more information, see "Downloadable ACLs" in the "Segmentation" chapter in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

pxGrid Direct Support for Arrays in Dictionary Groups for Authorization Policy

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, you can also use pxGrid Direct Connector data with arrays as dictionary attributes to configure an authorization policy. The operators “Contains” or “Matches” (in case of REGEX) must be used while configuring the policy. The operators ”Equals” and “In” will not work when there are arrays. Multiple attributes can be nested using "AND" or "OR" conditions. For more information, see "Authorization Policies" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

pxGrid Filtering

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, pxGrid supports filtering of information based on the specific requirements of the clients. The pxGrid filtering feature enables clients to only receive relevant information from the publisher on a per-subscription basis. The filtering of information is achieved using the filtering API on the pxGrid server. For more information, see "pxGrid Filtering" in the Chapter "Cisco pxGrid" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

RADIUS Suppression and Reports Enhancement

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, the RADIUS suppression and reports feature has been enhanced to faciliatite easier RADIUS (Administration > System > Settings > Protocols > RADIUS > RADIUS Settings) configurations. For more information, see "RADIUS Settings" in the chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

New Session Directory topic available using pxGrid

You can subscribe to the Session Directory All topic using pxGrid. The sessionTopicAll is similar to the existing sessionTopic (which continues to be supported), with one key difference. The sessionTopicAll also publishes events for sessions without IP addresses. For more information, see the pxGrid API Guide.

Support for Multiple Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Connectors

Cisco ISE enables you to create and enforce consistent access policies across multiple domains. Cisco ISE can share the SGTs and SGT bindings with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI). Cisco ISE can also learn the endpoint groups (EPGs), endpoint security groups (ESGs), and endpoint information from Cisco ACI. You can add multiple Cisco ACI connections to Cisco ISE.

You can configure rules to manage the learned context in Cisco ISE and to optimize the context flows between Cisco ISE and Cisco ACI connectors.

Cisco ISE supports Cisco ACI Multi-Tenant, and Multi-Virtual Routing and Forwarding deployments. You can define multi-fabrics through multiple connections. This integration supports multi-pod and individual Cisco ACI fabrics.

For more information, see "Connect Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure with Cisco ISE" in the Chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco ISE Administration Guide, Release 3.4.


Note


Support for multiple Cisco Application Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) connectors is a controlled introduction (Beta) feature. We recommend that you thoroughly test this feature in a test environment before using it in a production environment. For best use of this Beta feature, install this hot patch.


TLS 1.3 Support for Cisco ISE Workflows

Cisco ISE Release 3.4 allows TLS 1.3 to communicate with peers for the following workflows:

  • Cisco ISE is configured as an EAP-TLS server

  • Cisco ISE is configured as a TEAP server


    Attention


    TLS 1.3 support for Cisco ISE configured as a TEAP server has been tested under internal test conditions because at the time of Cisco ISE Release 3.4, TEAP with TLS 1.3 is not supported by any available client OS.


  • Cisco ISE is configured as a secure TCP syslog client


Note


For Cisco ISE Release 3.4, the Manually Configure Ciphers List option is not supported for TLS 1.3.


For more information, see "Configure Security Settings" in the Chapter "Segmentation" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 3.4.

Cisco ISE Release 3.4 ISO, Upgrade Bundle, and Cisco ISE-PIC 3.4 ISO Files Replaced on Software Download Site

Cisco ISE Release 3.4 ISO, Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Upgrade Bundle, and Cisco ISE-PIC 3.4 ISO files have been replaced on the Cisco ISE Software Download site. The filenames of the new files are:

  • ise-3.4.0.608a.SPA.x86_64.iso

  • ise-upgradebundle-3.1.x-3.3.x-to-3.4.0.608a.SPA.x86_64.tar.gz

  • Cisco-ISE-PIC-3.4.0.608a.SPA.x86_64.iso

You can use Fedora Media Writer and BalenaEtcher USB tools in addition to Rufus to create a bootable USB device from the new ISO file.

The following steps are not required while creating a bootable USB device using the new ISO file:

  • Replacing the term "cdrom" with "hd:sdb1" in the following files:

    • isolinux/isolinux.cfg or syslinux/syslinux.cfg

    • EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg

  • Replacing the term “cdrom” with “harddrive --partition=/dev/disk/by-label/ADEOS --dir=/” in the ks.cfg file

For more information, see "SNS Appliance Reference" in the chapter "Additional Installation Information" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Installation Guide, Release 3.4.

If you have used the previous files (for example, ise-3.4.0.608.SPA.x86_64.iso) for Cisco ISE Release 3.4 or Cisco ISE-PIC 3.4, there is no need to reinstall Cisco ISE or Cisco ISE-PIC. The new files include only changes to improve the installation process.

Deprecated Features

End of Support for Legacy IPsec (ESR)

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4, Legacy IPsec (ESR) is not supported on Cisco ISE. All IPsec configurations on Cisco ISE will be Native IPsec configurations. We recommend that you migrate to native IPsec from legacy IPsec (ESR) before upgrading to Cisco ISE Release to avoid any loss of tunnel and tunnel configurations. For more information, see "Migrate from Legacy IPsec to Native IPsec on Cisco ISE" in the chapter "Secure Access" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide.

Support for Transport Gateway Removed

Cisco ISE no longer supports Transport Gateway. The following Cisco ISE features used Transport Gateway as a connection method:

  • Cisco ISE Smart Licensing

    If you use Transport Gateway as the connection method in your smart licensing configuration, you must edit the setting before you upgrade to Cisco ISE Release 3.4. You must choose a different connection method as Cisco ISE Release 3.4 does not support Transport Gateway. If you upgrade to Cisco ISE Release 3.4 without updating the connection method, your smart licensing configuration is automatically updated to use the Direct HTTPS connection method during the upgrade process. You can change the connection method at any time after the upgrade.

  • Cisco ISE Telemetry

    Transport Gateway is no longer available as a connection method when using Cisco ISE Telemetry. The telemetry workflow is not impacted by this change.

GUI Deprecations

If you installed a hot patch on your previous Cisco ISE release, you must roll back the hot patch before installing a patch. Otherwise, the services might not be started due to an integrity check security issue.


Upgrade Information


Note


Native cloud environments must use the Cisco ISE backup and restore method for upgrades. Upgrades cannot be performed on Cisco ISE nodes deployed in native cloud environments. You must deploy a new node with a newer version of Cisco ISE and restore the configuration of your older Cisco ISE deployment onto it.


Upgrading to Release 3.4

You can directly upgrade to Release 3.4 from the following Cisco ISE releases:

  • 3.1

  • 3.2

  • 3.3

If you are on a version earlier than Cisco ISE, Release 3.1, you must first upgrade to one of the releases listed above, and then upgrade to Release 3.4.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest patch in the existing version before starting the upgrade.

Upgrade Procedure Prerequisites

  • Run the Upgrade Readiness Tool (URT) before the upgrade to check whether the configured data can be upgraded to the required Cisco ISE version. Most upgrade failures occur because of data upgrade issues. The URT validates the data before the actual upgrade and reports the issues, if any. The URT can be downloaded from the Cisco ISE Download Software Center.

  • We recommend that you install all the relevant patches before beginning the upgrade.

For more information, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Guide.

Known Limitations in Cisco ISE Release 3.4 - Cumulative Patch 1

Usage of IPv6 addresses in ACI connections

You must suspend the ACI connections before installing Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1 to ensure that the IPv6 addresses are maintained in the same format across the integrations.

Patch rollback flow with newly supported operators

From Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, IP Equals, IP Not Equals, In, Not In, Contains, and Not Contains operators are supported for workload classification rules and inbound SGT domain rules. When you use the Patch Rollback option for Cisco ISE Release 3.4 Patch 1, the workload classification rules and inbound SGT domain rules that contain these operators will be deleted during the patch rollback flow, because these operators are not supported in Cisco ISE Release 3.4.
