How to install Cisco Prime & ISE on MacBook Pro

[Daniel Ordóñez Flores]

Hello Folks, I’m working in my lab my my new exam, but I’m stock in this part, I want to install Cisco Prime & ISE in my MacBook Pro, but I don’t have  Idea how to start.

I know I need some some virtualization software but I’m not sure Which one?

Can Any one please help me with this topics?

Regards!!

VMware Fusion is the hypervisor to use as nearly all virtualized software from Cisco runs on the VMware platform. Both Prime and ISE are quite resource intensive. Do you have enough RAM and CPU-cores to run it? With less then 16 GB RAM and four cores I assume it won't be much fun.

I agree with Karsten... I run two shuttle boxes with ESXi for my home lab and it works great.  Here is a link to a site that has some options for a home ESXi lab:

Thank you much for your help, I got VMware Fusión 8.0, now I’d like to know if there is a guide about how to install them?

Thanks!!

Download the ova-installer from the cisco-website and follow the install-instructions on the product-pages. For ISE:

• Download

I must follow the same process for Prime Infrastructure 3 ?
