ISE License

[integrixSS]

Dear Team,

Please help me for the below mentioned ISE deployment

I want to deploy ISE in a DC & DR environmental. There are two WAN links used for both location at a time e.g. 

1.  A (DC)    & B (DR)   if either of the link down then traffic will be forward by the other location either A or B.

2. There are MPLS connectivity between DC & DR sites.

3. I want to go with two ISE appliances (2 for each sites).

4. Please suggest license option for 500 users (Basic+ advance).

5. Shall I require only one license for all the appliances (Basic+ Advance).

6. I want to run both the site active at a time.

Please suggest appr. license for all the appliances in this case.

Thanks & regards,

Rajesh Kumar

You apply the Licenses only on Admin node. You will need only 1 set of licenses

Dear Shekhar,

Thanks,

Can you tell me one thing more, If one location is in India(DC) and second location in USA(DR).Then 1 set of license (Basic_Advance) will work for both location as suggest by you earlier.

Rajesh

Hello Rajesh,

As you asked me again, I think you have some doubts.

We will need just one set of Lincense per primary Admin persona per ISE deployment.

I think you have ISE deployment as follows.

India (DC) - ISE1:Admin&MnT (Primary) + ISE2:PSN

USA (DR) - ISE3:Admin&MnT (Secondary) + ISE4:PSN

If you have above mentioned scenario then you will need to install only one set of license on India (DC) - Admin&MnT (Primary)

But If you have a ISE deployment as follows then you will need two sets of license.

India (DC) - ISE1: (Primary)Admin&MnT&PSN  + ISE2:(Secondary)Admin&MnT&PSN

USA (DR) - ISE1: (Primary)Admin&MnT&PSN  + ISE2:(Secondary)Admin&MnT&PSN

The Above mentioned deployement are completly saperate ISE deployments. so here you will need two sets of license one on India (DC) - ISE1: (Primary)Admin&MnT&PSN and second on USA (DR) - ISE1: (Primary)Admin&MnT&PSN

Please let me know what kind of ISE deployment you are planning for...

Thanks,

As per your scenario and assuming you are using HA for ISE that mean only one  instance of ISE is running so  you need 1 set of basic + advanced licence i.e  L-ISE-ADV3Y-500= , L-ISE-BSE-500=

Note license is applied for ISE instance  rather that appliance

Hi Rejesh,

FYI, ISE 1.2 now inlcudes the feature of 'Rehosting'.Rehosting allows the customer to reassign an existing ISE license to another ISE appliance, acting as a Primary and/or Secondary Node. Customers can use the rehosting feature to modify their existing  ISE license (registered to a single node) to be supported on Primary and  Secondary ISE Administration Nodes or just a new Primary node. The license term is not changed when rehosted.
