Replacement of ACS 1121

[ciscokid7181]

    Hi Folks,

     I have a clarification related with ACS 1121. Client needs a solution for ACS feature, instead of investing on ISE Base, is there any model exists as ACS appliance only. I beleive ACS 1121 is going to be EOS and it says SNS 3415 is the replacement model .

What I am confused is , It is an ISE as well as ACS and there is separate licensing for ISE (as base and advanced). What should i do , if i need to select SNS 3415 as ACS appliance ? is it built in or should i need to add anything extra ?

Appreciate your kind help and support .

REgards,

You need not purchase base and advance license. You just need to purchase migration license and this will work absolutely fine for your existing users. For more detail on this you can see the attached ISE ordering guide.

Cisco are just consolidating a lot of the server hardware they use and the 3415 is one such box. When you buy it, you specify the software you want and away you go. The choice is ACS -or- NAC, it won't do both at the same time. Also, in both cases, as you're an existing ACS owner, be sure to use the Migration discounts you're entitled to.

The licence will be different for both ACS 5.x and ISE 1.x. When ordering a Secure Network Server, the customer has the flexibility to install the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Network Admission Control (NAC), or Access Control System (ACS) security applications.

The Cisco Secure Network Server is based on the Cisco UCS C220 Rack Server and is configured specifically to support the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Network Admission Control (NAC), and Access Control System (ACS) security applications. The Secure Network Server supports these applications in two versions. The Cisco Secure Network Server 3415 is designed for small and medium-sized deployments.

The new Cisco 3415 Secure Access Control System appliance, based on the Cisco UCS C220 M3 platform. Cisco Secure ACS 5.4 will support the Cisco 3415 and 1121 Secure Access Control System appliances. Yes, this box will eventually replace the 1121.
