ISE Deployment Question

[ChristopherCraddock66504]

Community,

In an ISE deployment, is it possible to mix and match hardware appliances with VMs? For instance, let's say you had 2x PAN, 2x MNT and 2x PSN all hardware appliances but wanted to add another PSN as a VM, could you do that?

Thanks!

@ChristopherCraddock66504 yes you can have different appliance types, physical and VM in an ISE deployment.

Hi @ChristopherCraddock66504 ,

 I would like to add:

1st PANs must have the same "match hardware" ... Active/Standby (PPAN/SPAN)

2nd MnT must have the same "match hardware" ... Active/Standby (PMnT/SMnT)

3rd PSNs may have different "match hardware" ... all PSNs are Active

4th at Performance and Scalability Guide for Cisco ISE take a look at Different Types of ISE Deployment, a Medium Deployment has up to 6x PSNs

Hope this helps !!!
