Hi mate,
If your goal is to simulate the prod environment for lab, you have to consider the following:
1. What version are you running for ISE in prod.
2. What type of deployment (How many admin/mnt and psn nodes)
3. What services will you enable (NAC, Posture, Device administration, etc..)
Most of the devices can run virtual now (e.g. routers, firewalls, etc.) but switch is still recommended to be hardware.

Damien,
Thanks you so much for help.
What is the goal of the ISE lab?
ANS: this ISE lab we will use as non prod because we have one production setup as well.
Based on your goals, do you need network hardware?
ANS: Yes.
If you need network hardware, what's available to you? Routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, WSA's etc.
ANS: I have 9K switches WLC and asa firewall in spare in our lab so we can use them.
and i want to know what would be the hardware requirement for this.
