Importing ISE policy export via REST API?

henry.astorga — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 17:42:34 GMT

Has anyone had success with importing an ISE policy export from a different deployment via REST API? I have a new business acquisition that will require supporting policy from another ISE deployment and hopefully won't have to manually configure the other policy in my production ISE.

Regards,

Henry

Is importing the full configuration backup not an option? If this is an acquisition, it would probably be a good idea to audit that policy as well to make sure it's inline with your security requirements.

It should also be noted that there is currently no feature parity between the GUI and API, so there are limited policy configurations that can be done via API. Anything related to features like Profiling or Posture, for example, cannot be manipulated using the API.

There are various resources and examples for using the ISE APIs that can be found at https://cs.co/ise-berg#api

I also have some examples of using Terraform and Ansible for creating ISE policies on my GitHub page.
