ISE HLD

Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) 2.0


High-Level Design (HLD)
An ISE HLD may be requested at any time by the Cisco TAC to troubleshoot an ISE
deployment. An HLD will be required for any assistance by the Policy and Access
Team for Technical Marketing or Escalation services. Inability to produce a current
HLD upon request covering the full scope of your ISE deployment will delay the
resolution of your problem. Even though ISE deployment does not require an HLD, it is
still recommended to complete one for records.

Introduction

Retirement of ISE ATP Program


ISE is being phased out of ATP, thus it is no longer required to submit HLD as part of ISE order. For partner resources,
please visit Security Partner Community (https://www.cisco.com/go/securitychannels). Latest version of HLD and Bandwidth
Calculator is available here as well.

Document Purpose
This document provides a template to be used when creating a high-level design (HLD) for the Cisco Identity Services
Engine (ISE) with the Secure Access solution. Due to the various product configurations and deployment options, we are
providing this document to assist with obtaining relevant design information from your customer. The Secure Access
solution using the Cisco Identity Services Engine is a system architecture comprising of many components including
endpoints, network access devices, identity stores, certificate authorities, and many APIs for third party integrations to
provide guest services, profiling, BYOD enrollment and AAA for all access user and device access control needs. An
engineer must consider the Secure Access solution holistically and consider immediate as well as future requirements
prior to deciding what equipment to purchase. This HLD template will step the engineer through what needs to be
considered. If the engineer is not intimately familiar with the proposed network, a network assessment may be necessary
prior to completing the HLD. This document can be used during design phase of the ISE deployment to assist the
engineers on collecting key information relevant to successful ISE deployment. The Cisco TAC or Secure Access and
Mobility Product Group representatives may request a copy of the HLD with any support or escalation case.

MS Active Directory Environment


● How many AD forests are to be integrated with ISE with multi-AD
feature?
● ISE requires AD forest DNS consolidated into central DNS servers.
What method is used to consolidate DNS information for the separate
AD forests?
● What version of AD is in use?
● Are there any Read-Only domains in place?

Note: AD Site & Services is recommended for ISE subnets for all forests.
For more information regarding multi-AD support, please refer to ISE 1.3
Multi-AD how-to guide

Web Authentication
● Will WebAuthuth be used?
● Will WebAuth be used for wired, wireless, or both?
● Will Local Web Auth (LWA) or Central Web Auth (CWA) be used?
● Where will the web portal be hosted?
Note: If deploying CWA the portal must be hosted by ISE. If deploying
LWA the portal can be local to access device, or external (such as ISE).
● Will web auth be used for guest access? Will web auth be used for non-
guests (for example, employees)?

Note: For more information on CWA and LWA support on different platforms,
please refer to ISE Component Compatibility Document

Authorization
Describe the enforcement types used. Consider the following options:
● VLANs
● ACLs (dACL for wired /named ACL for wireless)
● Security group tags/ACLs (SGTs/SGACLs)

dACL considerations:
● Cisco Catalyst switches support the wire−rate access control list (ACL)
with use of the ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). If the
TCAM is exhausted, the packets may be forwarded via the CPU path,
which can decrease performance for those packets. It is recommended
to limit the number of Access Control Entries (ACE) to prevent potential
TCAM exhaustion.
● Using IP SourceGuard feature or QoS feature may also affect the TCAM
utilization

VLAN considerations:
● Consider the use case for why VLAN enforcement is used and estimate
the number of VLANS required.
● To authorize an endpoint using dynamic VLANs (dVLANs), the access
device must have that VLAN locally defined or else authorization will fail.
● To reduce the number of unique authorization policy rules, access

ISE 2.0 HLD © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 9 of 28
Question Response
devices should use consistent numbering, or case-sensitive naming if
assign dVLANs by VLAN name or VLAN Group name.
● When using monitor mode of the phased deployment, VLAN assignment
may cause endpoints with wrong IP address
● Some endpoints, such as non-user devices, may not refresh IP after
VLAN change
● If devices are statically addressed, they may not be able to
communicate on assigned VLAN

Note: VLAN assignment is not supported with LWA (wired or wireless)


Note: When using dVLAN assignment to change VLANs between machine
authentication and user authentication or for remediation purpose on
Windows platform may result in delay in getting a new IP address

Posture
● Which posture agents will be used? Consider: AnyConect 4.0 posture
agent for Windows or Mac, Web agent for Windows
● If persistent posture agents deployed, how will they be provisioned?
(e.g. through ISE or other desktop software/patch management solution,
via ASA, or via ISE)

In the Posture Policy section below, explain the posture policy by OS type
including remediation policies.

Note: For latest AV/AS posture requirements, review the list of currently
supported packages for Windows and MacOSX

Profiling Profiling Probes


● Identify the primary device types to be profiled NETFLOW DHCP
● What is the profile data required to classify each device type? DHCPSPAN HTTP
● Which probes will be deployed to collect the required data? RADIUS Device Sensor
● If SPAN/RSPAN is to be used, does infrastructure support these DNS NMAP
technologies? SNMPTRAP SNMPQUERY
Note: If SPAN/RSPAN used, a dedicated interface should be used on
the Policy Service Node for the DHCP SPAN or HTTP SPAN probe.
● If RSPAN or Netflow is to be used, is there sufficient bandwidth between
source SPAN/Netflow exporter and ISE Policy Service node used for
profiling?
● Is profiling for visibility only or for use in authorization policy?

Policy Details
List all security policies that are needed to implement the business requirements described above.

Authentication: For each use case (wired, wireless, VPN), describe the authentication policies that will be implemented
for all users and endpoints whether managed or unmanaged.

Authentication Policy Example:


Rule Name Condition Allowed Protocols ID Store / ID Sequence
Device Access Wired_MAB Default Network Access Internal EndPoints
802.1X Access Wired_802.1X Default Network Access AD_then_Local
VPN NAS-Port-Type = Virtual Default Network Access AD
Default - Default Network Access Internal Users

Customer Authentication Policy:


Rule Name Condition Allowed Protocols ID Store / ID Sequence

Authorization: For each use case (wired, wireless, VPN), describe the authorization policies that will be implemented for
all users and endpoints whether managed or unmanaged.

Authorization Policy Example:


Rule Name Identity Groups Other Conditions Permissions
BYOD Unknown Mobile Devices Logical EAP Tunnel = PEAP NSP dACL
Group EAP Type = MSCHAPv2 NSP Redirect
BYOD Registered Registered EAP Type = EAP-TLS Registered dACL
SAN = Calling-StationID
IP_Phones Cisco-IP-Phones - Voice VLAN
Authz VVID
Printers Managed-Printers - Printer VLAN
Cameras Managed-Cameras - Camera VLAN
Workstation_Access Any Domain PC AD Access dACL
User_Role_1_Access Any Domain Member Role1 Role1 dACL
User_Role_2_Access Any Domain Member Role2 Role2 dACL
Guest_Access Guest - Internet Only dACL
Default - - Web Auth

Customer Authorization Policy:


Rule Name Identity Groups Other Conditions Permissions

ISE 2.0 HLD © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 13 of 28
Guest Access: For each use case (wired or wireless), describe guest access policy. Provide information on how guest
will access the network including information on guest provisioning, sponsors, and whether custom guest portal pages
need to be created. Please fill details in the forms below if the answer yes applies to you. Put no if the scenario does not
apply to you.
Services Wired (yes or no) Wireless (yes or no)
Guest

Profiling: For each use case (wired or wireless), describe how the profile data will be collected by each probe required to
classify each device type to be profiled. For example, will SPAN or RSPAN be used to carry data from the network to the
Identity Services Engine? If so, what is the SPAN design? Will dedicated ISE interfaces be used? If HTTP probe used,
will SPAN or redirection be used to capture user agent attributes?

Please note that the number of events per second a platform can safely process per the Platform Performance Spec table
below. For example, if IPAD traffic is to be profiled by probing http traffic for the User Agent attribute, then the design
must assure the Policy Services node is not inspecting more than 1200 http events per second (3395 spec). Consider
profiling strategies that reduce overall load on Policy Service node such use of HTTP redirect at connect time to capture
the User Agent attribute, or the use of IP Helper statements for DHCP capture versus the use of SPAN.

o Will Monitor mode be enabled for a period of time on the 802.1X-enabled routers and switches?
o Will Authenticated or Enforcement mode (formerly known as “Low Impact mode”) be deployed?
o Will Closed Mode (formerly known as “High Security mode”) be deployed?

ISE Node details


For customers deploying VMs:

The VM host should be sized comparably with the ISE appliance. See platform hardware specs below for CPU
specification of the various appliances. For example, if the performance characteristics required are similar to a 3495
appliance, then per platform performance specs the VM should contain 32GB RAM, 8 CPUs equivalent to a Intel Xeon
CPU E5-2609 @ 2.4 GHZ.
Note: Hard disks with 10K or higher RPM are required. Average IO Write performance for the disk should be higher than
300MB/sec and IO Write performance should be higher than 50MB/sec. VMotion is supported since ISE 1.3. Please make
sure to reserve the RAM and CPU cycles for the ISE node deployed as VM.

Note: If disk size needs to be resized, the node will need to be re-imaged from the ISO

Note: The resources need to be reserved for each ISE node and cannot be shared among different ISE nodes or other
guest VMs on the host.

Example:

Migration Guide
The Cisco Identity Services Engine Licensing Guide located in the partner portal page
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/ps11640/products_partner_resources_list.html ) explains packaging and
licensing under the Authorized Technology Provider program for wired and VPN.

Machine Access Restrictions (MAR)


 Cisco ISE contains a Machine Access Restriction (MAR) component that provides an additional means of controlling
authorization for Microsoft Active Directory-authentication users. This form of authorization is based on the machine
authentication of the computer used to access the Cisco ISE network. For every successful machine authentication,
Cisco ISE caches the value that was received in the RADIUS Calling-Station-ID attribute (attribute 31) as evidence of
a successful machine authentication. Cisco ISE retains each Calling-Station-ID attribute value in cache until the
number of hours that was configured in the “Time to Live” parameter in the Active Directory Settings page expires.
Once the parameter has expired, Cisco ISE deletes it from its cache. When a user authenticates from an end-user
client, Cisco ISE searches the cache for a Calling-Station-ID value from successful machine authentications for the
Calling-Station-ID value that was received in the user authentication request. If Cisco ISE finds a matching user-
authentication Calling-Station-ID value in the cache, this affects how Cisco ISE assigns permissions for the user that
requests authentication in the following ways:
● If the Calling-Station-ID value matches one found in the Cisco ISE cache, then the authorization profile for a
successful authorization is assigned.
● If the Calling-Station-ID value is not found to match one in the Cisco ISE cache, then the authorization profile for a
successful user authentication without machine authentication is assigned.

 Potential Issues with MAR:


● Ethernet/WiFi transitions: Calling-Station-ID (MAC address) is used to link machine and user authentication; MAC
address will change when laptop moves from wired to wireless breaking the MAR linkage.
● Machine state caching: The state cache of previous machine authentications is neither persistent across ACS/ISE
reboots nor replicated amongst ACS/ISE instances
● Hibernation/Standby: 802.1X fails when the endpoint enters sleep/hibernate mode and then moves to a different
location, or comes back into the office the following day, where machine auth cache is not present in new RADIUS
server or has timed out.
● Spoofing: Linkage between user authentication and machine authentication is tied to MAC address only. It is
possible for endpoint to pass user authentication only using MAC address of previously machine-authenticated
endpoint.

Latency and bandwidth requirement among ISE nodes


The maximum latency between admin node and any other ISE node including secondary admin, MnT, and PSN is 200ms. The WAN
bandwidth calculator for ISE deployment is available here: https://www.cisco.com/go/securitychannels (1.2 version of the tool is still
valid for 2.0 release). This calculator can be used to find out how much bandwidth needs to be reserved for ISE operation across WAN
links.
