Overview

Explains medium-sized network deployments in Cisco ISE and how it uses multiple nodes to separate core personas.

As small networks grow, you can manage network growth by adding nodes to create a medium-sized network. In medium-sized network deployments, you can dedicate the new nodes for all AAA functions and use the original nodes for configuration and logging functions.

If the amount of log traffic increases in a network, you can dedicate one or two secondary nodes for log collection.

In a medium-sized network deployment, you cannot enable the Policy Service persona on a node that runs the Administration persona or the Monitoring persona. You need dedicated policy service nodes.
