ISE and NAC wireless guest networks

[mlezerkiewicz]

I have a wireless network that is NAC controlled and use lobby ambassador for guest wireless. What is the best way to migrate to ISE for guest. Are there problems running NAC and ISE on the same controller?

Mark,

There should be no issues running NAC and ISE on the same controller. Since you are using two different SSIDs the guest SSID will have to be configured to support Radius NAC so you can use services like COA to redirect users sessions to the ISE guest portal, and then allow them access to the guest network.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Hello,

For your query regarding ISE and NAC following are my  findings, which might help you in order to solve your query.

for your first question:-

ISE is a free software upgrade for customers who have NAC appliance or NAC profiler. This is for both for the base and advance licenses.

ISE is a 50% software discount for customers who have  NAC guest server. The 50% discount is a migration part for the base license only. The advance features license will not be impacted by this discount.

for your second question:-

There should be no issues running NAC and ISE on the same controller until and unless you are using two SSIDs.
