ISE 1.2 SNS-3415 NIC Bonding / Teaming

[christoulakis]

Hello,

I have installed the SNS-3415 with ISE 1.2 and i'm trying to setup redundnacy (Team) nic modes for the authentication requests and not for management purpose.

The tests showed that when the one interface was unpluged everything was lost and nobody from our internal users was able to authenticated by the ISE node.

In contrast when i was unpluged the " second interface " (probably the inactive ) nothing was happened which shows that is a useless  interface

My purpose is to connect it to my twins core switches and have a full high availability deployment.

- I have search enough on the WEB but i didn't found any clear and precisely document of saying how this could be achieved.

ISE 1.2 does not support NIC teaming.  Especially on appliances.  There is a workaround for VM using the ESXi host to team the NICs so that it is transparent to the VM.
