Implementing Cisco Identity Service Engine Secure Solutions (ISE) is a course designed to provide students with hands-on lab configuration of the Cisco® Identity Services Engine running software version 1.0. The ISE platform takes the place of the Cisco ACS and NAC servers typically used in today’s identity-based networks. The students will implement 802.1X-based network services using Cisco Catalyst® and Cisco Nexus® switches and Cisco wireless products. The course also addresses solution design, sizing, resiliency, and platform troubleshooting.For more information, please visit www.cisco.com/go/ase.

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:  Describe the Cisco TrustSec 2.0 solution architecture and deployment methodologies using the ISE platform  Configure the ISE platform in a network that includes Microsoft Active Directory  Configure the Cisco ISE software for wired and wireless 802.1X  Deploy firewall-based VPN services using the Cisco ASA and Inline Posture  Configure the ISE for classification and policy enforcement  Deploy ISE-based profiling, posture, and guest services  Troubleshoot user authentication and policy enforcement problems based on configuration error or network issue  Create a low-level design for the ISE platform deployment methodology, scaling requirements, and platform resiliency
