Overview: Cisco Identity Services Engine
The Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Release 1.0, is the next generation network and policy control platform from Cisco. Cisco ISE is a single, robust platform that provides the combined functionality of the Cisco Access Control System (ACS), Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC), and Cisco Enterprise Policy Manager (CEPM) products. Cisco ISE provides the following set of services:
•Identity management
•Access control
•Profiling
•Guest management
•Posture
•TrustSec
•Advanced monitoring and troubleshooting
Cisco ISE enables network administrators to authenticate, authorize, and monitor its network users and hosts that connect to the network. Cisco ISE identifies and distinguishes whether its network devices are laptop computers, printers, IP telephones or other device types, and whether these devices are compliant with the organization's security policies.
In addition, Cisco ISE repairs any detected vulnerabilities before it permits access to the network, and helps create guest user accounts for temporary network access by permitting an authenticated user to sponsor a guest using a secure process.
Cisco ISE assists network administrators to monitor activity in their networks and intervene as needed. Using the advanced reporting and troubleshooting capabilities in Cisco ISE, network administrators can better troubleshoot network issues or conditions.
This installation guide provides the following types of information about the Cisco ISE 1.0 release:
•Prerequisites and requirements to be met prior to installation
•Process for installing and configuring the system on a Cisco ISE appliance
•Process for installing and configuring the system on a VMware® virtual machine
•Process for upgrading a Cisco NAC 4.7 appliance to run as a a Cisco ISE appliance
•Process for troubleshooting and maintaining the system
Cisco ISE 1.0 offers a choice of three appliance platforms depending upon the size of your network deployment:
•Small Cisco 3315 (ISE-3315-K9)
•Medium Cisco 3355 (ISE-3355-K9)
•Large Cisco 3395 (ISE-3395-K9)
The Cisco ISE appliance runs the Application Deployment Engine operating system (ADE-OS) version 2.0 and the Cisco ISE Release 1.0 system software. The ADE-OS and Cisco ISE system software run on either a dedicated Cisco Identity Services Engine (Cisco IES-3300 series) appliance or on a VMware server (Cisco ISE-VM-K9).
For VMware-based installations, you need to configure the VMware environment to meet a specific set of minimal system requirements as well as install the Cisco ISE 1.0 software. The supported VMware versions include:
•VMware Elastic Sky X (ESX) version 3.x and 4.0
•VMware ESXi version 4.0 and 4.1
Note For more information about VMware-based installations, see Chapter 6, "Installing ISE-3300 System Software in a VMware Virtual Machine".
Note The VMware Server, version 2.0, is supported for demonstration purposes only.
This release also supports migration of existing Cisco Access Control Server (ACS) 5.1 data to an ISE 1.0 appliance. This release supports a migration process that involves three-steps using the Cisco ACS - ISE Migration utility:
1. ACS 5.1 data is exported from the CSACS-1121 hardware appliance.
2. The CSACS-1121 hardware appliance (which is the same physical hardware as the ISE-3315 appliance) is re-imaged as an ISE 1.0 release appliance.
3. Converted ACS 5.1 data is imported into the Cisco ISE 1.0 appliance.
For a detail description of the migration process, see Cisco ACS 5.x to Cisco ISE Database Migration Guide.
Warranty, service, and support information is located in the Cisco Information Packet that ships with your appliance.
