Cisco Identity Services Engine Network Component Compatibility, Release 2.0

This document describes Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) validated compatibility with switches, wireless LAN controllers, and other policy enforcement devices as well as operating systems with which Cisco ISE interoperates.

Validated Network Access Devices

Cisco ISE supports interoperability with any Cisco or non-Cisco RADIUS client network access device (NAD) that implements common RADIUS behavior (similar to Cisco IOS 12.x) for standards-based authentication. For a list of supported authentication methods, see the “Manage Authentication Policies” chapter of the Cisco Identity Services Engine Admin Guide, Release 2.0.

RADIUS

Cisco ISE interoperates fully with third-party RADIUS devices that adhere to the standard protocols. Support for RADIUS functions depends on the device-specific implementation.

RFC Standards

Cisco ISE conforms to the following RFCs:

RFC 2138—Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
RFC 2139—RADIUS Accounting
RFC 2865—Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
RFC 2866—RADIUS Accounting
RFC 2867—RADIUS Accounting Modifications for Tunnel Protocol Support
RFC 5176—Dynamic Authorization Extensions to Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)

Note Certain advanced use cases, such as those that involve posture assessment, profiling, and web authentication, are not consistently available with non-Cisco devices or may provide limited functionality. We recommend that you validate all network devices and their software for hardware capabilities or bugs in a particular software release.

For information on enabling specific functions of Cisco ISE on network switches, see the “Switch and Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Required to Support Cisco ISE Functions” chapter in Cisco Identity Services Engine Admin Guide, Release 2.0.

For information about third-party NAD profiles, see the ISE Community Resources.

Note Some switch models and IOS versions may have reached the end-of-life date and interoperability may not be supported by Cisco TAC.

Caution

To support the Cisco ISE profiling service, use the latest version of NetFlow, which has additional functionality that is needed to operate the profiler. If you use NetFlow version 5, then you can use version 5 only on the primary NAD at the access layer, as it will not work anywhere else.

For Wireless LAN Controllers, note the following:

MAB supports MAC filtering with RADIUS lookup.
Support for session ID and COA with MAC filtering provides MAB-like functionality.
DNS based ACL feature will be supported in WLC 8.0. Not all Access Points support DNS based ACL. Refer to Cisco Access Points Release Notes for more details.

Table 1 lists the support for the devices as follows:

√ — Fully supported
X — Not supported
! — Limited support, some functionalities are not supported

The following are the functionalities supported by each feature:

RADIUS::NAS_Identifier

AAA Attributes for Third-Party VPN Concentrators

For VPN concentrators to integrate with Cisco ISE, the following authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) attributes should be included in the RADIUS communication:

Calling-Station-ID (tracks individual client by MAC or IP address)
User-Name (tracks remote client by login name)
NAS-Port-Type (helps to determine connection type as VPN)
RADIUS Accounting Start (triggers official start of session)
RADIUS Accounting Stop (triggers official end of session and releases ISE license)
RADIUS Accounting Interim Update on IP address change (for example, SSL VPN connection transitions from Web-based to a full-tunnel client)

^12.When Apple iOS devices use Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) with Cisco ISE or 802.1x, certificate warnings might be displayed even for publicly trusted certificates. This usually occurs when the public certificate includes a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) distribution point that the iOS device needs to verify. The iOS device cannot verify the CRL without network access. Click Confirm or Accept in the iOS device to authenticate to the network.

^13.Tested with Cisco ISE, Release 2.0 patch 3 and Release 2.0.1 patch 1.

If you are using Apple iOS 12.2 or later version, you must manually install the downloaded Certificate/Profile. To do this, choose Settings > General > Profile in the Apple iOS device and Click Install.

If you are using Apple iOS 12.2 or later version, RSA key size must be 2048 bits or higher. Otherwise, you might see an error while installing the BYOD profile.

^43.If you are using Mac OS X clients with Java 7, you cannot download the SPWs using Google Chrome browser. Java 7 runs only on 64-bit browsers and Chrome is a 32-bit browser. It is recommended to use either previous versions of Java or other browsers while downloading the SPWs.

Requirements for CA to Interoperate with Cisco ISE

While using a CA server with Cisco ISE, make sure that the following requirements are met:

Key size should be 1024, 2048, or higher. In CA server, the key size is defined using certificate template. You can define the key size on Cisco ISE using the supplicant profile.
Key usage should allow signing and encryption in extension.
While using GetCACapabilities through the SCEP protocol, cryptography algorithm and request hash should be supported. It is recommended to use RSA + SHA1.
Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is supported. This is not directly used in BYOD, but a CA which can act as an OCSP server can be used for certificate revocation.

Note EJBCA 4.x is not supported by Cisco ISE for proxy SCEP. EJBCA is supported by Cisco ISE for standard EAP authentication like PEAP, EAP-TLS, and so on.

Client Certificate Requirements for Certificate-Based Authentication

For certificate-based authentication with Cisco ISE, the client certificate should meet the following requirements:

Supported Cryptographic Algorithms: RSA
Supported Key Sizes: 1024, 2048, or 4096 bits
Supported Secure Hash Algorithms (SHA): SHA-1 and SHA-2 (includes SHA-256)
