ISE-Essentials - Cisco Identity Services Engine Essentials
ISE-Essentials - Cisco Identity Services Engine Essentials Course Details:
In this course, you will learn about the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) a next-generation identity and access control policy platform that provides a single policy plane across the entire organization combining multiple services, including authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) using 802.1x and MAB. The training provides learners with the knowledge and skills to implement 802.1X and MAB for wired and wireless endpoints. The class focuses on configuring Network Access Devices (IOS switches, and Wireless Lan Controllers) with commands necessary for ISE integration. The class also covers configuration of endpoints to use the native Microsoft supplicant with PEAP and EAP-TLS, as well as the Cisco NAM supplicant with EAP-FAST. Time is taken to explore Microsoft Active Directory group policy for endpoint configuration, and to cover integration of an enterprise CA for certificate based authentication.
This course is an intensive hands-on experience. With enhanced hands-on labs, you will setup and patch an ISE node, and use and enterprise CA to configure certificate services for use in a distributed deployment. You will integrate ISE with Active Directory and configure Group Policy to automatically enroll endpoints with an enterprise CA for TLS based authentication. You will configure and test AAA and 802.1X on an IOS switch using classical commands to integrate with ISE. You will migrate and test an IOS switch configuration to use the new-mode IBNS 2.0 Cisco Common Classification Policy Language (C3PL). You will configure and test a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) with advanced ISE features. The class also covers the new ISE 2.3 conditions studio and its use in Policy Sets for Authentication/Authorization rules, Profiling of endpoints on the network, and Device Administration using TACACS+.
