ISE configuration to support URL redirection for specific services including CWA, Hotspot, Posture, MDM, as well as Client and Supplicant Provisioning is beyond the scope of this guide. In summary, all of these services can be used to capture the User-Agent for endpoints with. This chapter focuses on the configuration steps required to deploy ISE in a distributed design. It also covers the basics of using a load balancer and includes a special bonus section on a very cool high-availability (HA) configuration that uses Anycast routing, and covers patching distributed ISE deployments.
I’m going to use this page for links to the configuration templates I use when deploying Cisco ISE. These templates are provided As-Is with no guarantee. Yes, even I sometimes have a fat finger error. I will be updating them on the share if/when I find better configurations.
Be sure to check the Network Component Compatibility list for your version of Cisco ISE as well as the feature list for your NAD OS release before trying to apply any configuration settings. Otherwise, you may just receive a lot of errors.
Switch Templates for Cisco ISE Authentication
Cisco Ise Configuration
Note: The C3PL templates are based on IBNS 2.0. It was just shorter by a couple of characters to name them C3PL (what will I do with the time saved?).
The following four C3PL configurations will authenticate Dot1x and MAB at the same time. It will work for most deployments but can cause duplicate records to show up in the Live Logs (1 for MAB, 1 for Dot1x). Be sure to test if this will work for your deployment. Note that running Dot1x and MAB concurrently is not fully supported by Cisco. To change this behavior, replace the policy map in these templates with the policy map found in the Cisco ISE IBNS 2.0 Switch Config template below.

The following C3PL configuration is IBNS 2.0 compliant. Dot1x and MAB run separately (MAB after Dot1x failure). The policy map in this template can be copy/pasted into the above C3PL templates (replacing the policy map found there) so that Dot1x and MAB does not run concurrently.
These 2 templates are IBNS 1.0 compliant.
