Hi

You can download the ova from Cisco website.
To know which VM(s) you need to deploy, we need to know what's your network:
- how many endpoints
- how many concurrent sessions (calculation on nb of users at the same time by the number of devices they will use at the same time, number of guests...)
- what features you want to implement (802.1x, byod, guests, posture, tacacs....)

With these infos we will be able to tell you the type of licenses required.

OVA file downloaded on ESXI 6.5 and its running.

we need to know what's your network:
- how many endpoints:200
- how many concurrent sessions (calculation on nb of users at the same time by the number of devices they will use at the same time, number of guests...): 150
- what features you want to implement (802.1x, BYOD, guests, posture, tacacs....): please suggest

please share the helpful link.

- what features you want to implement (802.1x, BYOD, guests, posture, tacacs....): please suggest

it's depend de your method to deploy ISE 

for example 802.1x use to authenticate users or and computer to access network using an active directory account 

Tacacs : for authenticate administrators to equipment ( switch , router ,.... )  keeping traceability for each typing command and secure access to equipment with different privilege it's very helpful

posture : using for secure access machine to network and decrease vulnerability : for example verify update to machine before permit them to connect in network  or license active , anti-virus active , ........

Hi Nadia,

This is our Network Infrastructure, we want deploy ISE in our network with Posture authentication,

please help me to create BOM, checklist(So that we could clear each of our points at the time of implementation), License  (requirement only for 200 endpoint and users).

Authentication method: Posture:

can you help me 

[Francesco Molino]

Difficult to suggest as i don't know your needs.
Is it to authenticate internal users and/or external? External users will be guest or you want them to be onboarded?
Check out Cisco live presentation to see what features fit better with your needs.
Afterwards i will be able to give you more details if needed.

There are multiple books (hundreds of pages each) and numerous Cisco Live presentations as well as a plethora of how-to guides on this site regarding deploying ISE. It's not something you learn how to do in the span of a discussion thread.

After reviewing the Cisco Live presentations, I'd start with this book:

http://www.ciscopress.com/store/cisco-ise-for-byod-and-secure-unified-access-9780134586663

If you have further questions after reading, please post them in the ISE Community (which is where I am moving this thread).

I recommend you look for a Cisco partner, or engage your existing Cisco partner. There are many pieces and considerations with deploying ISE, and at the end of the day you still need to buy the licensing from someone. That someone would ideally have scoped or deployed ISE in the past.

Not to say that you can't deploy it yourself, but the licensing needs to be bought through a Cisco partner still.
