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, 5GaaS networks, and data center switches. Cisco ISE acts as the policy manager in the Cisco TrustSec solution and supports TrustSec software-defined segmentation.

Cisco ISE is available on secure network server appliances with different performance characterizations, and also as software that can be run on a virtual machines (VMs). Note that you can add more appliances to a deployment for better performance.

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.

System Requirements

For an uninterrupted Cisco ISE configuration, ensure that the following system requirements are fulfilled.

For more details on hardware platforms and installation in this Cisco ISE release, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Hardware Installation Guide.

Supported Hardware

Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, can be installed on the following platforms:


Caution

For Cisco Secure Network Server (SNS) 3600 series appliance support (SNS-3615-K9, SNS-3655-K9, and SNS-3695-K9), you must use only the new ISO file (ise-2.4.0.357.SPA.x86_64_SNS-36x5_APPLIANCE_ONLY.iso). Cisco ISE 2.4 Patch 9 or above must be applied after installation. We recommend that you do not use this ISO file for SNS 3500 series appliance, VMware, KVM, or Hyper-V installation.

After installation, you can configure Cisco ISE with specific component personas such as Administration, Monitoring, or pxGrid on the platforms that are listed in the above table. In addition to these personas, Cisco ISE contains other types of personas within Policy Service, such as Profiling Service, Session Services, Threat-Centric NAC Service, SXP Service for TrustSec, TACACS+ Device Admin Service, and Passive Identity Service.


Caution

  • Cisco ISE 3.1 and later releases do not support Cisco Secured Network Server (SNS) 3515 appliance.

  • Cisco SNS 3400 Series appliances are not supported in Cisco ISE, Release 2.4, and later.

  • Memory allocation of less than 16 GB is not supported for VM appliance configurations. In the event of a Cisco ISE behavior issue, all the users will be required to change the allocated memory to at least 16 GB before opening a case with the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

  • Legacy Access Control Server (ACS) and Network Access Control (NAC) appliances (including the Cisco ISE 3300 Series) are not supported in Cisco ISE, Release 2.0, and later.


Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Mode Support

Cisco ISE uses embedded Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2-validated cryptographic module, Cisco FIPS Object Module Version 6.2 (Certificate #2984). For details about the FIPS compliance claims, see Global Government Certifications.

When FIPS mode is enabled on Cisco ISE, consider the following:

  • All non-FIPS-compliant cipher suites will be disabled.

  • Certificates and private keys must use only FIPS-compliant hash and encryption algorithms.

  • RSA private keys must be 2048 bits or greater.

  • Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) private keys must be 224 bits or greater.

  • Diffie–Hellman Ephemeral (DHE) ciphers work with Diffie–Hellman (DH) parameters of 2048 bits or greater.

  • SHA1 is not allowed to generate ISE local server certificates.

  • The anonymous PAC provisioning option in EAP-FAST is disabled.

  • The local SSH server operates in FIPS mode.

  • The following protocols are not supported in FIPS mode for RADIUS:

    • EAP-MD5

    • PAP

    • CHAP

    • MS-CHAPv1

    • MS-CHAPv2

    • LEAP

Supported Virtual Environments

Cisco ISE supports the following virtual environment platforms:

  • VMware ESXi 5.x, 6.x, 7.x

  • Microsoft Hyper-V on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and later

  • KVM on RHEL 7.1, 7.3, and 7.5

For information about the virtual machine requirements, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Installation Guide for your version of Cisco ISE.


Caution

Cisco ISE does not support VMware snapshots for backing up ISE data because a VMware snapshot saves the status of a VM at a given point in time. In a multi-node Cisco ISE deployment, data in all the nodes are continuously synchronized with current database information. Restoring a snapshot might cause database replication and synchronization issues. We recommend that you use the backup functionality included in Cisco ISE for archival and restoration of data.

Using VMware snapshots to back up ISE data results in stopping Cisco ISE services. A reboot is required to bring up the ISE node.


Supported Browsers

The supported browsers for the Admin portal include:

  • Mozilla Firefox 96 and earlier versions from version 82

  • Mozilla Firefox ESR 91.3 and earlier versions

  • Google Chrome 97 and earlier versions from version 86

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.x

  • Microsoft Edge, the latest version and one version earlier than the latest version

Support for Microsoft Active Directory

Cisco ISE works with Microsoft Active Directory servers 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 at all functional levels.


Note

  • It is recommended that you upgrade Windows server to a supported version as Microsoft no longer supports Window server 2003 and 2003 R2. .

  • Microsoft Active Directory Version 2000 or its functional level is not supported by Cisco ISE.


Cisco ISE supports multidomain forest integration with Active Directory infrastructure to support authentication and attribute collection across large enterprise networks. Cisco ISE supports up to 50 domain join points.

Improved User Identification

Cisco ISE can identify Active Directory users when a username is not unique. Duplicate usernames are common when using short usernames in a multidomain Active Directory environment. You can identify users by Software Asset Management (SAM), Customer Name (CN), or both. Cisco ISE uses the attributes that you provide to uniquely identify a user.

Update the value of the following:

  • SAM: Update this value to use only the SAM in the query (the default).

  • CN: Update this value to use only CN in the query.

  • CNSAM: Update this value to use CN and SAM in the query.

To configure the attributes mentioned above for identifying Active Directory users, update the IdentityLookupField parameter in the registry on the server that is running Active Directory:

REGISTRY.Services\lsass\Parameters\Providers\ActiveDirectory\IdentityLookupField

Supported Ciphers

In a clean or fresh install of Cisco ISE, SHA1 ciphers are disabled by default. However, if you upgrade from an existing version of Cisco ISE, the SHA1 ciphers retain the options from the earlier version. You can view and change the SHA1 ciphers settings using the Allow SHA1 Ciphers field (Administration > System > Settings > Security Settings).


Note

This does not apply to the Admin portal. When running in Federal Information Processing Standard Mode (FIPS), an upgrade does not remove SHA1 ciphers from the Admin portal.


Cisco ISE supports TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.

Cisco ISE supports RSA and ECDSA server certificates. The following elliptic curves are supported:

  • secp256r1

  • secp384r1

  • secp521r1


Note

Cisco ISE does not support intermediate certificates having SHA256withECDSA signature algorithm for any of the elliptical curves due to the limitations in the current implementation of OpenJDK 1.8.


The following table lists the supported Cipher Suites:

What is New in Cisco ISE, Release 2.6?

Base Licensing

The features described below require Cisco ISE base licensing.

CLI Access by External Identity Store

ISE supports authentication of CLI administrators by external identity sources, such as Active Directory.

Business Outcome: You can manage a single source for passwords without the need to manage multiple password policies and administer internal users within ISE, thereby reducing time and effort.

IPv6 Support

In addition to the IPv4 support, Cisco ISE, Release 2.6 extends IPv6 support for the following functions or events:

  • ISE Management

    You can access and manage a Cisco ISE node over an IPv6 address, and configure an IPv6 address to Eth0 (Interface) during setup wizard as well as through CLI.


    Note

    If you choose to configure IPv6 address, you should also have an IPv4 address configured (in addition to IPv6 address) for the Cisco ISE node communication. Hence, dual stack (combination of both IPv4 and IPv6) is required.


    You can also manage Secure Socket Shell (SSH) with IPv6 addresses. Cisco ISE supports multiple IPv6 addresses on any interface and these IPv6 addresses can be configured and managed using CLI.

  • Network Time Protocol Support

    You can access, configure, and manage Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers with IPv4, FQDN, IPv6 addresses, or with a mix of these.

    Cisco ISE also supports NTP server fallback mechanism and server authentication over an IPv6 address.

  • Domain Name System Support

    You can configure a combination of IPv4 and IPv6 Domain Name System (DNS) servers and even manage IPv4 or IPv6-based DNS servers through CLI and GUI. Static hostnames can be mapped with IPv6 addresses.

    For further details, see ISE Cisco Identity Services Engine CLI Reference Guide, Release 2.6

  • External Repositories

    You can add an external repository in Cisco ISE with an IPv6 address. Communication between a Cisco ISE node and an IPv6 external repository is possible when the node has an IPv6 address configured to Eth0.

    For further details, see ISE Cisco Identity Services Engine CLI Reference Guide, Release 2.6

  • Audit Logs and Reports

    You can view the reports relating to login and logout activities, password changes, and operational changes made by you while accessing Cisco ISE through an IPv6 address. These events can be viewed in the audit reports available in the Cisco ISE dashboard.

  • Simple Network Management Protocol

    Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and MIBs can be communicated through IPv6 addresses. You can configure IPv4-based, IPv6-based SNMP or multiple SNMP (a mix of IPv4 and IPv6) servers.

  • Access Control Lists And Dynamic Access Control Lists

    From Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, you can define Access Control Lists (ACLs), Dynamic Access Control Lists (DACLs) and Cisco Airespace ACLs with IPv6 addresses.

  • Active Directory

    You can connect to the IPv6 Active Directory from Cisco ISE.

  • External Restful Service Portal

    External Restful Service is available on an IPv6 client.

  • Syslog Client or Logging Targets

    You can configure IPv6-based syslog targets.

  • Posture

    You can access RADIUS servers with an IPv6 address.

For more information on Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, IPv6 support, see Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 2.6.

Business Outcome: You can migrate to an IPv6-based network to complete the events mentioned above.

Japanese or English View of the Administrator Portal

The Administration console currently supports two languages, Japanese and English. You can select either the Japanese view or the English view under Account Settings.

Business Outcome: Suitable for Japanese-speaking and English-speaking administrators to configure and use Cisco ISE.

Policy Service Nodes and the Light Session Directory

The Light Session Directory feature can be used to store user session information and replicate it across the Policy Service Nodes (PSNs) in a deployment, thereby eliminating the need to be totally dependent on the Primary Administration Node (PAN) or the Monitoring and Troubleshooting (MnT) node for user session details. The Light Session Directory feature stores only the session attributes required for Change of Authorization (CoA). To enable the Light Session Directory feature, choose Administration > Settings > Light Session Directory and check the Enable Light Session Directory check box.

Business Outcome: Improved performance and scalability of Cisco ISE node.

REST Support for External Administrators

From Cisco ISE 2.6, External RESTful Services (ERS) users can either be internal users or belong to an external Active Directory. The Active Directory group to which the external users belong should be mapped to either the ERS Admin or the ERS Operator group. With this enhancement, administrators no longer have to create internal user counterparts for external users who need access to ERS services.

Business Outcome: The process of enabling external administrators to access RESTful services is simplified.

Support for Manufacturer Usage Descriptor

Manufacturer Usage Descriptor (MUD) is an IETF standard, which defines a way to on-board IoT devices. It provides seamless visibility and segmentation automation of IoT devices. MUD has been approved in IETF process, and released as RFC8520. For more information, see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-mud/.

Cisco ISE, Release 2.6 and later supports identification of IoT devices. Cisco ISE automatically creates profiling policies and Endpoint Identity Groups. MUD supports profiling IoT devices, creating profiling policies dynamically, and automating the entire process of creating policies and Endpoint Identity Groups. Administrators can use these profiling policies to create manually Authorization Policies and Profiles. IoT devices sending MUD URL in DHCP and LLDP packets are on board, using those profiles and policies.

Cisco ISE performs unsigned classification of IoT devices. Cisco ISE does not store the MUD attributes; the attributes are only used in the current session. In the Context and Visibility > Endpoints window, you can filter IoT devices by the Endpoint Profile field.

The following devices support sending MUD data to Cisco ISE:

  • Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches running Cisco IOS XE Version 16.9.1 & 16.9.2

  • Cisco Catalyst Digital Building Series Switches running Cisco IOS Version 15.2(6)E2

  • Cisco Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series Switches running Cisco IOS Version 15.2(6)E2

  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices with embedded MUD functionality

Profiler Support

Cisco ISE supports the following profiling protocols and profiling probes:

  • LLDP and RADIUS - TLV 127

  • DHCP - Option 161

Business Outcome: The number of IoT devices that are connected to enterprise networks is increasing. Until now, Cisco ISE could not classify these devices. From Release 2.6, Cisco ISE can classify and display the IoT devices that are connected to your network, using an automated process.

Syslog over ISE Messaging

From Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, Monitoring and Troubleshooting (MnT) WAN Survivability is available for UDP syslog collection. Syslogs are recorded using ISE Messaging Service. The Remote Logging Targets, where the syslogs are collected and stored uses port TCP 8671 and the Secure Advanced Message Queuing Protocols (AMQPs) for sending syslogs to MnT.

By default, the ISE Messaging Service option is disabled until Cisco ISE, Release 2.6 Patch 1.

From Cisco ISE, Release 2.6 Patch 2 onwards, by default, the ISE Messaging Service option is enabled.

For more information, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 2.6

Business Outcome: Operational data will be retained for a finite duration even when the MnT node is unreachable.

Hardening Improvements

The following caveats are fixed to ensure improved hardening of Cisco ISE:

  • CSCvj85532- Streamlined security enforcement upon administrators' authentication failures.

  • CSCvk46033- Improved security hardening for connections to the Cisco ISE SSH server.

  • CSCvk09565- Conformance to RFC 3164 standards.

  • CSCvj96345- Improved security for connections to the Cisco ISE Administration application.

TrustSec Deployment Verification Report

You can use this report to verify whether the latest TrustSec policies are deployed on all network devices and whether there are any discrepancies between the policies configured on Cisco ISE and those deployed on the network devices.

Business Outcome: You can easily verify whether the latest TrustSec policies are deployed on the network devices or if there are any discrepancies.

NFS Repository Credentials

When you add a repository and select NFS as the protocol, you can no longer enter credentials to connect to the repository.

Business Outcome: Using credentials to connect to an NFS repository caused problems.

Apex Licensing

The features described below require Cisco ISE apex licensing.

Identify Managed Devices with Dynamic MAC Addresses

AnyConnect 4.7 now provides a Unique Device ID (UDID) to identify a connected user. The UDID value can be mapped with information from Mobile Device Management (MDM) providers to help identify users who have the same MAC address. MAC address sharing is common in open offices, where more than one person shares a dock or USB dongle.

Business Outcome: You can develop a solution that uses the UDID to uniquely identify a user, when device connections are shared.

Flexible Remediation Notification

From Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, you can delay the grace period prompt from being displayed to the user until a specific percentage of grace period has elapsed.

For example, if the Delay Notification field in the Policy > Posture > Posture Policy window is set to 50 percent and the configured grace period is 10 minutes, Cisco ISE checks the posture status after 5 minutes and displays the grace period notification if the endpoint is found to be noncompliant. Grace period notification is not displayed if the endpoint status is compliant. If the notification delay period is set to 0 percent, the user is prompted immediately at the beginning of the grace period to remediate the problem. However, the endpoint is granted access until the grace period expires.

Business Outcome: Prevents unnecessary remediation prompts for endpoints waiting for JAMF software or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) updates.

Generic or Custom Messaging Through Cisco AnyConnect

More informative messages can now be displayed by Cisco AnyConnect when it is used in the context of Cisco ISE Posture service. End users can now see messages about posture status and errors. You can modify the content that is displayed in AnyConnect posture profiles. Note that this feature requires Cisco AnyConnect Version 4.7.

Business Outcome: Better communication with end users.

Platform

Support for Cisco Secure Network Server 3600 Series Appliance

Cisco ISE 2.6 supports Cisco Secure Network Server 3615, Secure Network Server 3655, and Secure Network Server 3695 appliances.

For Cisco Secure Network Server (SNS) 3600 series appliance support (SNS-3615-K9, SNS-3655-K9, and SNS-3695-K9), you must use only the new ISO file (ise-2.4.0.357.SPA.x86_64_SNS-36x5_APPLIANCE_ONLY.iso). Cisco ISE 2.4 Patch 9 or above must be applied after installation. We recommend that you do not use this ISO file for SNS 3500 series appliance, VMware, KVM, or Hyper-V installation.

Business Outcome: Improved performance, scalability, and platform manageability over SNS 35xx series appliances.

Known Limitations and Workarounds

LDAP Server Reconfiguration after Upgrade

Limitation

The primary Hostname or IP is not updated which causes authentication failures. This is because while upgrading the Cisco ISE deployment, the deployment IDs tend to reset.

Condition

When you enable the Specify server for each ISE node option in the Connection window (Administration > Identity Management > External Identity Sources > LDAP > Add or choose and an existing server) and then upgrade your Cisco ISE deployment with PSNs, the deployment IDs tend to reset.

Workaround

Reconfigure the LDAP Server settings for each node. For more information, see LDAP Identity Source Settings section in the Administrative Access to Cisco ISE Using an External Identity Store chapter in the "Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 2.4".

Upgrade GUI Notification

Limitation

Upgrade GUI shows that the upgrade progress at 0% for secondary PAN until upgrade is at 100%. The upgrade process continues in background and there’s no impact on upgrade.

Condition

While upgrading from Cisco ISE 2.4 Patch 8 to a higher release.

Workaround

Check the ade.log file for the upgrade process. To display the ade.log file, enter the following command from the Cisco ISE CLI:
show logging system ade/ADE.log

For more information, see CSCvp78781.

pxGrid Certificate Issue

Limitation

Default self-signed certificate for pxGrid fails.

Condition

While upgrading from Cisco ISE 2.7 Patch 7 to a higher release.

Workaround

Either use a different certificate, or add "SSL Client" to the existing certificate.

IP-SGT Bindings Are Not Propagated Under Certain Conditions

Under the following conditions, IP-SGT mappings are not propagated to ACI.

On the ISE administrators console, navigate to Work Centers -> TrustSec -> Components:

  1. Create a security group, but don't check Propagate to ACI.

  2. Create an IP-SGT binding with previously created Security Group. It may be a static, session or SXP binding.

  3. On the Security Group, click Propagate to ACI .

  4. Click Save.

  5. The Security Group synchs to ACI, but not IP-SGT that is mapped to the Security Group.

Workaround

Either:

  1. Restart the ACI propagation in ISE and recreate the IP-SGT mappings.

    1. On the Work Centers->TrustSec->Settings->ACI Settings, uncheck “TrustSec-ACI Policy Element Exchange”, and save.

    2. Check TrustSec-ACI Policy Element Exchange, and save.

    3. The connection between Cisco ISE and ACI is reestablished.

  2. Delete the old IP-SGT bindings, and recreate them while Propagate to ACI is checked.


Note

The connection between ACI and ISE reauthenticates every 24 hours, which also fixes this problem.


SXP Protocol Security Standards

Limitation: Security Group Exchange Protocol (SXP) transfers unencrypted data and uses weak Hash Algorithm for message integrity checking per draft-smith-kandula-sxp-06.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

For more information, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-smith-kandula-sxp-06.

Patch Build Download Using Chrome Browser

Limitation: Integrity checksum issues occur when you use the Google Chrome browser to download the patch build.
Condition: The Message Digest 5 (MD5) sum values do not match.
Workaround: Download the patch build using the FireFox browser. Verify that the downloaded patch bundle has the correct MD5 checksum.

Radius Logs for Authentication

Details of an authentication event can be viewed in the Details field of the Radius Authentications window. The details of an authentication event are available only for 7 days, after which no data on the authentication event will be visible. All the authentication log data will be removed when a purge is triggered.

Profiler RADIUS Probe

Limitation: Endpoints are not profiled; they are only authenticated and added to the database.
Condition: The RADIUS probe is disabled.
Workaround: Disable the profiling services completely.

NAM TLS 1.2 Incompatibility Warning

Limitation: ISE implementation of EAP-FAST does not support key generation in TLS 1.2.
Condition: If you are using NAM 4.7 to authenticate endpoints using EAP-FAST, remember that only certain versions of ISE support TLC 1.2, which is required for EAP-FAST. If you use an incorrect version of ISE, the authentication fails, and the endpoint does not have access to the network.
Workaround: In order to resolve this issue, upgrade the Cisco ISE software as shown for the following releases:
  • Cisco ISE Release 2.4: Patch 5 or later.

  • Cisco ISE Releases 2.0, 2.0.1, and 2.1. Install the Struts2-CVE-2018-11776 PSIRT fix, before you apply the hot patch. You can download the Struts2-CVE-2018-11776 PSIRT fix from Cisco software downloads.


Note

In order to obtain hot patches for Cisco ISE releases earlier than Release 2.4, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Ensure that the ISE software has the latest patches applied before you apply the hot patch.


For more information, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/703/fn70357.html.

High Memory Utilization

Limitation: High memory utilization after installing or upgrading to Cisco ISE Version 1.3 or later.
Condition: Because of the way kernels manage cache memory, Cisco ISE might use more memory, which may trigger high memory usage (80 to 90%) and alarms.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

For more information, see CSCvn07836.

Diffie-Hellman Minimum Key Length

Limitation: Connection to LDAP server fails.
Condition: If the Diffie-Hellman minimum key length that is configured on the LDAP server is less than 1024, connection to the LDAP server fails.
Workaround: Change the Diffie Hellman key size on the LDAP server.

For more information, see CSCvi76985.

ECDSA Certificates

Limitation: Cisco ISE supports Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) certificates with key lengths of 256 and 384 only.
Condition: ECDSA certificates that are used for EAP authentication are supported only for endpoints with Android Version 6.x and later.

Note

Apple iOS is not supported if you use ECDSA as a system certificate. ECDSA certificates are supported only for Android 6.x and Android 7.x.


Workaround: You can select the key length in the Administration > System > Certificates > Certificate Management > System Certificates window.

Re-create Supplicant Provisioning Wizard References

Limitation: BYOD certificate provisioning flow is broken with both Internal and External Certificates.
Condition: When you upgrade to a new release, or apply a patch, the Supplicant Provisioning Wizard (SPW) is updated.
Workaround: Create new native supplicant profiles and new client-provisioning policies that reference the new SPWs.

Endpoint Protection Services API

As of Cisco ISE 1.4, ANC replaces Endpoint Protection Services. ANC provides additional classifications, and performance improvements. There are new APIs for ANC in the Cisco ISE SDK. While the ERS APIs might still work, we strongly recommend that you move to ANC.

Server IP update under Trustsec AAA Server list

When the IP of the Cisco ISE instance is changed via CLI, then Cisco ISE will restart the services. Once the services are up, we need to change the IP of Trustsec AAA Server. Choose Workcenters > TrustSec > Components > Trustsec Servers > Trustsec AAA Servers.

Upgrade Information

Upgrading to Release 2.6

You can directly upgrade to Release 2.6 from the following Cisco ISE releases:

  • 2.1

  • 2.2

  • 2.3

  • 2.4


Note

When you upgrade to Cisco ISE 2.6 patch 7, you will see an error message if you were using the RE_AUTHENTICATE in an ANC policy. The existing policies will still work.

Applying patch 2 eliminates the error message. Or you can remove those policies before upgrading.


If you are on a version earlier than Cisco ISE, Release 2.1, you must first upgrade to one of the releases listed above and then upgrade to Release 2.6.


Note

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


Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, has parity with 2.0 Patch 7, 2.1 Patch 8, 2.2 Patch 13, 2.3 Patch 5, and 2.4 Patch 5.

Supported Operating System for Virtual Machines

You can upgrade to Release 2.6 from either the GUI or the CLI.

Cisco ISE runs on the Cisco Application Deployment Engine operating system (ADEOS), which is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). For Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, ADEOS is based on RHEL 7.5. For more information, see Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Journey.

If you are upgrading Cisco ISE nodes on VMware virtual machines, after upgrade is complete, ensure that you change the Guest Operating System to supported version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). To do this, you must power down the VM, change the Guest Operating System to the supported RHEL version, and power on the VM after the change.

Patch Compatibility

This patch is compatible with the following patch releases:

  • 2.2 Patch 15

  • 2.3 Patch 7

  • 2.4 Patch 10

  • 2.6 Patch 2

License Changes

Device Administration Licenses

There are two types of device administration licenses: cluster and node. A cluster license allows you to use device administration on all policy service nodes in a Cisco ISE cluster. A node license allows you to use device administration on a single policy service node. In a high-availability standalone deployment, a node license permits you to use device administration on a single node in the high availability pair.

The device administration license key is registered against the primary and secondary policy administration nodes. All policy service nodes in the cluster consume device administration licenses, as required, until the license count is reached.

Cluster licenses were introduced with the release of device administration in Cisco ISE 2.0, and is enforced in Cisco ISE 2.0 and later releases. Node licenses were released later, and are only partially enforced in releases 2.0 to 2.3. Starting with Cisco ISE 2.4, node licenses are completely enforced on a per-node basis.

Cluster licenses have been discontinued, and now only node Licenses are available for sale.

However, if you are upgrading to this release with a valid cluster license, you can continue to use your existing license upon upgrade.

The evaluation license allows device administration on one policy service node.

Licenses for Virtual Machine nodes

Cisco ISE is also sold as a virtual machine (VM). For this Release, we recommend that you install appropriate VM licenses for the VM nodes in your deployment. Install the VM licenses based on the number of VM nodes and each VM node's resources, such as CPU and memory. Otherwise, you will receive warnings and notifications to procure and install the VM license keys. However, the installation process will not be interrupted. From Cisco ISE, Release 2.4, you can manage your VM licenses from the GUI.

VM licenses are offered under three categories—Small, Medium, and Large. For instance, if you are using a 3595-equivalent VM node with eight cores and 64-GB RAM, you might need a Medium category VM license if you want to replicate the same capabilities on the VM. You can install multiple VM licenses based on the number of VMs and their resources as per your deployment requirements.

VM licenses are infrastructure licenses. Therefore, you can install VM licenses irrespective of the endpoint licenses available in your deployment. You can install a VM license even if you have not installed any Evaluation, Base, Plus, or Apex license in your deployment. However, in order to use the features that are enabled by the Base, Plus, or Apex licenses, you must install the appropriate licenses.

VM licenses are perpetual licenses. VM licensing changes are displayed every time you log in to the Cisco ISE GUI, until you check the Do not show this message again check box in the notification pop-up window.

If you have not purchased an ISE VM license earlier, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Ordering Guide to choose the appropriate VM license to be purchased.


Note

If you have purchased ISE VM licenses without a PAK, you can request VM PAKs by emailing licensing@cisco.com. Include the Sales Order numbers that reflect the ISE VM purchase, and your Cisco ID in your email. You will be provided a medium VM license key for each ISE VM purchase you have made.

For details about VM compatibility with your Cisco ISE version, see "Hardware and Virtual Appliance Requirements" chapter in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Installation Guide for the applicable release.

For more information about the licenses, see the "Cisco ISE Licenses" chapter in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.

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.

Cisco ISE Live Update Portals

Cisco ISE Live Update portals help you to automatically download the Supplicant Provisioning wizard, AV/AS support (Compliance Module), and agent installer packages that support client provisioning and posture policy services. These live update portals are configured in Cisco ISE during the initial deployment to retrieve the latest client provisioning and posture software directly from Cisco.com to the corresponding device using Cisco ISE.

If the default Update portal URL is not reachable and your network requires a proxy server, configure the proxy settings. Choose Administration > System > Settings > Proxy before you access the Live Update portals. If proxy settings allow access to the profiler, posture, and client-provisioning feeds, access to a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server is blocked because Cisco ISE cannot bypass the proxy services for MDM communication. To resolve this, you can configure the proxy services to allow communication to the MDM servers. For more information on proxy settings, see the "Specify Proxy Settings in Cisco ISE" section in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.

Client Provisioning and Posture Live Update Portals

You can download Client Provisioning resources from:

Work Centers > Posture > Settings > Software Updates > Client Provisioning.

The following software elements are available at this URL:

  • Supplicant Provisioning wizards for Windows and Mac OS X native supplicants

Licensing Method for Air-Gapped Networks

Smart Software Manager (SSM) On-Prem is a connection method in which you configure an SSM On-Prem server that manages smart licensing in your Cisco ISE-enabled network. With this connection method, Cisco ISE does not require a persistent connection to the Internet.

For more information, see the Licensing Chapter in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.

Full Upgrade and Split Upgrade Options Added to Cisco ISE GUI

You can select one of the following options in the Administration > System > Upgrade> Upgrade Selection window to upgrade your Cisco ISE deployment:

  • Full Upgrade: Full upgrade is a multi-step process that enables a complete upgrade of your Cisco ISE deployment sequentially. This method will upgrade all nodes in parallel and in lesser time compared to the split upgrade process. The application services will be down during this upgrade process because all nodes are upgraded parallelly.

  • Split Upgrade: Split upgrade is a multi-step process that enables the upgrade of your Cisco ISE deployment while allowing services to remain available during the upgrade process. This upgrade method allows you to choose the Cisco ISE nodes to be upgraded on your deployment.

Resolved Caveats in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 10

The following table lists the resolved caveats in Release 2.6 cumulative patch 10.

Patch 10 might not work with older versions of SPW. MAC users must upgrade their SPW to MACOSXSPWizard 2.2.1.43 or later, and Windows users must upgrade their SPW to WinSPWizard 2.2.1.53 or later.

Known Limitations in Cisco ISE 2.6 Patch 9

Special Characters Usage Limitations in Name and Description Fields

  • The following special characters cannot be used in the Description field for TACACS+ profiles and Device Administration Network conditions: [%\<>*^:"|',=/()$.@;&-!#{}.?]. Supported characters are: alphanumeric, underscore(_ ), and space.

  • The following special characters cannot be used in the Name and Description fields for Authorization Profiles: %\<>*^:\"|',=. Supported characters for the Name and Description fields are: alphanumeric, hyphen(-), dot(.), underscore(_ ), and space.

  • The following special characters cannot be used in the Name and Description fields for Time and Date conditions: [%\#$&()~+*@{}!/?;:',=^`]"<>". Supported characters for the Name and Description fields are: alphanumeric, hyphen(-), dot(.), underscore(_ ), and space.

Change in SNMP User Password Format and SNMP Hash Minimum Length

After applying Cisco ISE 2.6 Patch 9, SNMP user configuration might be removed due to the change in the SNMP user password format. SNMP user passwords are now displayed in hash format. You must reconfigure the SNMP user settings again.

SNMP hash with less than 80 characters will not work and you will see the below error:

snmp-server user FT10 v3 hash fe7c35f09ff1238e369968a0be273f22 fe7c35f09ff1238e369968a0be273f22
          % Error: Decryption Failed. Could not add SNMP User 

New Features in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 8

Health Check

An on-demand health check option is introduced to diagnose all the nodes in your deployment. Running a health check on all the nodes prior to any operation helps identify critical issues, if any, that may cause downtime or blocker. Health Check provides the working status of all the dependent components. On failure of a component, it immediately provides troubleshooting recommendations to resolve the issue for a seamless execution of the operation.

Ensure that you run Health Check before initiating the upgrade process.

Business Outcome: Identify critical issues to avoid downtime or blockers.

DNS Cache

The DNS requests for hosts can be cached, thereby reducing the load on the DNS server.

This feature can be enabled in the configuration mode using the following command:

service cache enable hosts ttl ttl

To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

no service cache enable hosts ttl ttl

Admin can choose the Time to Live (TTL) value, in seconds, for a host in the cache while enabling the cache. There is no default setting for ttl. The valid range is from 1 to 2147483647.


Note

TTL value is honored for negative responses. The TTL value set in the DNS server is honored for positive responses. If there is no TTL defined on the DNS server, then the TTL configured from the command is honored. Cache can be invalidated by disabling the feature.


Business Outcome: Load on DNS Server is reduced.

Resolved Caveats in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 8

The following table lists the resolved caveats in Release 2.6 cumulative patch 8.

Patch 8 might not work with older versions of SPW. MAC users must upgrade their SPW to MACOSXSPWizard 2.2.1.43 or later, and Windows users must upgrade their SPW to WinSPWizard 2.2.1.53 or later.

New Features in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 7

ANC Enhancement

MAC address is not always a unique identifier for an endpoint. USB NIC dongles means that multiple users can have the same MAC address. Plus, some endpoints have the same MAC address. MAC spoofing also shows duplicate MAC addresses.

To better identify an endpoint for the ANC service, Cisco ISE uses the IP address of the switch that the endpoint is connected to. The switch's IP address is the NAS-IPAddress attribute.

Endpoint sessions can use the MAC address and NAS-IPAddress in an ANC Policy.

MDM vendors can use NAS-IPAddress in pxGrid v2 API.

PxGrid v2 is required to use NAS-IPAddress in the new API. The existing API still works. But you cannot use both the old and new APIs together.

Upgrading Cisco ISE Consideration

If you upgrade to Cisco ISE 2.6 patch 7, you will see an error message if you were using the RE_AUTHENTICATE in an ANC policy. The existing policies will still work.

Applying Cisco ISE 2.6 patch 2 eliminates the error message. Or you can remove those policies before upgrading.

Enable Probe Data Publisher

The Probe Data Publisher initiates a pxGrid publisher on the Primary Policy Administration Node (PAN). When the primary PAN identifies a change in attributes for a connected endpoint, the updated attribute data is published to the relevant pxGrid Topic in Cisco ISE.

This option, by default, is not enabled. We recommend that this option be enabled only if you have an external data consumer configured.

To enable the Probe Data Publisher, go to Work Centers > Profiler > Settings, and check the Enable Probe Data Publisher checkbox.

Telemetry

After installation, when you log in to the Admin portal for the first time, the Cisco ISE Telemetry banner is displayed. Using this feature, Cisco ISE securely collects nonsensitive information about your deployment, network access devices, profiler, and other services that you are using. This data will be used to provide better services and more features in the forthcoming releases. By default, telemetry is enabled. To disable or modify the account information, choose Administration > Settings > Network Settings Diagnostics > Telemetry. The account is unique for each deployment. Each admin user need not provide it separately.

Telemetry provides valuable information about the status and capabilities of Cisco ISE. Telemetry is used by Cisco to improve appliance lifecycle management for IT teams who have deployed Cisco ISE. Collecting this data helps the product teams serve customers better. This data and related insights enable Cisco to proactively identify potential issues, improve services and support, facilitate discussions to gather additional value from new and existing features, and assist IT teams with inventory report of license entitlement and upcoming renewals.

It may take up to 24 hours after the Telemetry feature is disabled for Cisco ISE to stop sharing telemetry data. Starting with patch 6, telemetry is disabled immediately.

Interactive Help

The Interactive Help provides tips and step-by-step guidance to complete tasks with ease.

Business Outcome: This helps the end users to easily understand the work flow and complete their tasks with ease.

Resolved Caveats in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 7

The following table lists the resolved caveats in Release 2.6 cumulative patch 7.

Patch 7 might not work with older versions of SPW. MAC users must upgrade their SPW to MACOSXSPWizard 2.2.1.43 or later, and Windows users must upgrade their SPW to WinSPWizard 2.2.1.53 or later.

New Features in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 5

Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics Support

Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics is a solution on Cisco DNA Center that improves endpoint profiling fidelity. It provides fine-grained endpoint identification and assigns labels to various endpoints. Information gathered through deep packet inspection, and probes from sources like Cisco ISE, Cisco SD-AVC, and network devices, is analyzed for endpoint profiling.

Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics also uses artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to intuitively group endpoints with similar attributes. IT administrators can review such groups and assign labels to them. These endpoint labels are then available in Cisco ISE if your Cisco ISE account is connected to an on-premise Cisco DNA Center.

These endpoint labels from Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics can be used by Cisco ISE administrators to create custom authorization policies. You can provide the right set of access privileges to endpoints or endpoint groups through such authorization policies.

New Features in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 3

Multi-DNAC Support

Cisco DNA Center systems cannot scale to more than the range of 25 to 100 thousand endpoints. Cisco ISE can scale to two million endpoints. Currently, you can only integrate one Cisco DNA Center system with one Cisco ISE system. Large Cisco ISE deployments can benefit by integrating multiple DNA Center clusters with a single Cisco ISE. Cisco now supports multiple Cisco DNA center clusters per Cisco ISE deployment, also known as Multi-DNAC.

Business Outcome: This feature for the Access Control app in Cisco DNA Center allows you to integrate up to four Cisco DNA Center clusters with a single Cisco ISE system.

Resolved Caveats in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 3

The following table lists the resolved caveats in Release 2.6 cumulative patch 3.

Patch 3 might not work with older versions of SPW. MAC users must upgrade their SPW to MACOSXSPWizard 2.2.1.43 or later, and Windows users must upgrade their SPW to WinSPWizard 2.2.1.53 or later.

Open Caveats in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 3

Caveat ID Number

Description

CSCvs04092

SGT Notification is missing on PxGrid V2 Client

New Features in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 2

Syslog over ISE Messaging Service

The UDP syslogs (built-in UDP syslog targets - LogCollector and LogCollector2) will be delivered to the monitoring nodes using the existing ISE Messaging service infrastructure, which is by default enabled now. This enhances WAN survivability of syslog messages. Please ensure to open the TCP port 8671 on firewalls (if any) between all nodes for this feature to work.

You can disable this option to deliver the UDP Syslogs via UDP Ports. To do so, navigate to Administration > System > Logging > Log Settings page in the Cisco ISE GUI and uncheck the Use ISE messaging Service for UDP syslog delivery to MnT option.

For more information, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 2.6

Business Outcome

Operational data will be retained for a finite duration even when the monitoring nodes are unreachable.

Support for Elevated System Administrator Role

The Elevated System Administrator role is similar to the existing System Administrator role. Additionally with this role you can create, delete and update admin users except super admin users.

For more information, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 2.6.

Business Outcome

Elevated System Admin has the ability to manage admin users.

Resolved Caveats in Cisco ISE Release 2.6.0.156 - Cumulative Patch 2

The following table lists the resolved caveats in Release 2.6 cumulative patch 2.

Patch 2 might not work with older versions of SPW. MAC users must upgrade their SPW to MACOSXSPWizard 2.2.1.43 or later, and Windows users must upgrade their SPW to WinSPWizard 2.2.1.53 or later.
