help Cisco Identity Services Engine FAQ
How does Cisco Identity Services Engine control network access?
Cisco ISE receives identity and device information through protocols such as RADIUS and IEEE 802.1X, then applies access policies. It can place an endpoint into a permitted VLAN, apply an access-control list, or deny access based on identity and posture.
Can Cisco ISE secure both wired and wireless networks?
Yes, ISE can work with switches, wireless LAN controllers, VPN devices, and other network-access devices. A common deployment uses 802.1X authentication for both wired switch ports and wireless networks.
What does posture assessment mean in Cisco ISE?
Posture assessment checks whether an endpoint meets requirements such as security software or configuration policies after authentication. A noncompliant device can be restricted, placed in a remediation network, or disconnected through a RADIUS change-of-authorization action.
Does Cisco ISE support non-Cisco network equipment?
ISE can interoperate with third-party network devices that support standards such as RADIUS or TACACS+. The exact capabilities depend on the device’s support for features such as 802.1X, profiling, VLAN assignment, and change of authorization.
