Hello,
i get the message when i try to test the connectivite between my switch and ise:
Attempting authentication test to server-group ISE using radius
No authoritative response from any server.
I assum that the cnfig in switch is correct and i can reach my ISE.
the modele of my switch is : C3560E Software (C3560E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.2(4)E10

Has this worked before or a new deployment?
Is the IP address of the switch defined as a "Network Device" in ISE?
Are the RADIUS servers up? Run "show aaa servers" and provide the output for review.
Please provide your switch configuration.

Hello @Rob Ingram ,
=> It's a new deployment.
=> Yes it's defined in network device on ISE
=>Yes the Radius Server is UP,
but i can't see any output when i try the show aaa servers command eventhough the config is the same in other switch and it's working on it.

@abderrahman have you checked what I suggested you?

Usually means the switch did not receive a valid RADIUS reply (Access-Accept, Access-Reject, or Challenge) from any configured ISE node.
Check whether ISE sees the request on ISE Operations > RADIUS > Live Logs. If you see nothing, the request is probably not reaching ISE.

@abderrahman what are the logs in Operations → RADIUS → Live Logs
any firewall in between switch and ISE ?

Try this
1: Test if you can ping your ISE (radius)
2: Check shared-secret on Switch and ISE under Network Devices.
You should have something like this on you switch:
aaa new-model
aaa group server radius ISE
server name ISE1
radius server ISE1
address ipv4 <IP adress> auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
key <shared-secret>
In ISE under Network Devices you need to add your switch and shared-secret needs to be exactly identical on both sides
