The NIC bonding feature in Cisco ISE does not support load balancing or link aggregation features. The bonding of interfaces ensures that Cisco ISE services are not affected when there is:</P><UL><LI>Physical interface failure</LI><LI>Loss of switch port connectivity (shut or failure)</LI><LI>Switch line card failure</LI></UL><P></P><P>Would this also allow ISE to have interfaces into different switches to allow for Switch failure also?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 15 Sep 2016 01:00:33 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/ise-2-1-nic-bonding/m-p/3498030#M537561 Jefkelle 2016-09-15T01:00:33Z Re: ISE 2.1 NIC Bonding https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/ise-2-1-nic-bonding/m-p/3498031#M537563 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>NIC bonding can take care of loss of switch port connectivity (switch goes down, etc ..)</P><P style="text-align: left;">E.g. if Gig0 and Gig1 are bonded, <SPAN style="font-family: Arial; color: #676767;">When Gig0 fails, Gig1 assumes the IP address and keeps the communications alive.</SPAN></P><P></P><P>In ISE 2.1 you have 6 interfaces so you can create 3 NIC Bonding's as follows</P><P></P><P>Gig0 + Gig1 = Bond 0</P><P>Gig2 + Gig3 = Bond 1</P><P>Gig4 + Gig5 = Bond 2</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 15 Sep 2016 06:01:50 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/ise-2-1-nic-bonding/m-p/3498031#M537563 imbashir 2016-09-15T06:01:50Z Re: ISE 2.1 NIC Bonding https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/ise-2-1-nic-bonding/m-p/3498032#M537564 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>As long as the 2 nics are on the same VLAN</P><P></P><P>Each bonded pair carries same MAC address and IP</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 15 Sep 2016 15:16:50 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/ise-2-1-nic-bonding/m-p/3498032#M537564 Jason Kunst 2016-09-15T15:16:50Z
