ACS Synchronize

jo.pahutar1 — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 05:31:12 GMT

Dear Expert,

Let me to introduce my self, I’m johannes that working in SI.

Right now we have existing ACS type 1121 with software version 5.2.

I want to adding one new ACS in my network and my plan is both of ACS can syncronize each others.

So we purpose 2 scenarios for Synchronize ACS. They are :

1. Buy the new ACS and Synchronize with the exisiting.

2. Buy only UCS Server and install ACS software on these server.

My question are :

1. What the condition for synchronize between ACS ? is that only software ACS version ?

2. Can we install ACS software in UCS Server ?

if yes, what is spec for the server ? can you breakdown step by step for installing in UCS server ?

Regards,

Johannes

Hi Johannes,

You can install the ACS on VM or Cisco SNS-34XX series but not 5.2. You will need to upgrade to 5.4. Please have a look below at the installation guide:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5-4/installation/guide/csacs_book/csacs_hw_ins_ucs.html

Also, HW versions don't need to be same. The software versions including patch should be same for replication.

Kanwal

Hi Kanwal,

Thank for your replying.

Right now the newer ACS software is 5.6 version.

so I understand that firstly we must upgrade from 5.2 to 5.4 and then 5.6.

But i saw the 5.4 is AEOS at march, 31 2015.

if we buy the ACS 5.4 in april, what we should do ?

or We just need buy ACS 5.6 P/N CSACS-5.6SW-MR-K9= and then ACS will automatically jump to 5.6 without installing 5.4 version.

Please advice.

Regards,

Johannes

If you have already CSACS-5.4

If you have already CSACS-5.4-SW-K9 then you can go with CSACS-5.6SW-MR-K9 upgrade if you don't have SAS, if you have SAS support then go with CSACS-5.6SW-SR-K9=.
