ISE 1.4 : Unable to see tabs on PSNs.

[abhijith891]

Hi all,

My company has just recieved a few ISE devices from a customer and while on the PAN, I can see the 'Home', 'Operations', 'Policy', 'Guest Access' & 'Administration' tabs; but on one PSN, I can see only 'Home', 'Operations', & 'Administration' tabs that too with comparatively less options.  On another PSN, we have only the 'Administration' tab. Can someone please explain the meaning of this, and what I need to do if I want to see all the tabs?

Regards.

This is expected. Only the primary admin (pan) allows configuration changes. All other nodes receive configuration from the pan. The secondary node also can be used to configure changes when manually promoted to primary, in case the original primary is down. The other nodes just have tabs for basic operations.

Hi Rahul,

Thank you for your quick reply. Can you also please tell how is it that for one PSN, I have 3 tabs and for the other I have one?I am not able to get that.

Ideally it should not be the case. Are you sharing any other persona with the psn? The menu options available per persona is defined here :

Ah yes! Just found that the PSN with extra tabs is also functioning as an MnT node. I guess that explains the 'Operations' tab. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
