The best way to know that your configuration is working properly is to measure with a tool outside of ISE. Unfortunately, authentications per second is not available via SNMP or the REST API. What does happen is for each authentication a SYSLOG message is generated. The following messages are for every passed and failed authentication: […]

Part 3 – IOS-XE Load Balancing
Cisco is a large organization. Sometimes different software development teams don’t talk to one another as much as we would like. As it happens, the IOS-XE team developed a way of load balancing RADIUS request across multiple RADIUS servers. I can’t claim to have read every Cisco whitepaper and I haven’t seen every Cisco Live […]

Part 2 – Enter the Load Balancer
In Part 1 we explored the simplest configuration possible. Now let’s introduce a load balancer appliance. I’m just going to put it out there. Load balancers are a necessary evil. They are for protocols that are too dumb to figure out how to load balance themselves at the application layer. But we’re going to find […]

Part 1: Cisco ISE Load Balancing
There are many ways to build a Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) installation. This is a four-part series on load balancing multiple RADIUS servers and we’ll use Cisco’s Identity Services Engine in our examples. If you want to jump ahead: Part 1: This Page! Part 2: Load Balancer Appliances Part 3: Simple, Fast, Cheap… all […]

One of the biggest advantages of IPv6 is the ease of renumbering thanks to SLAAC and DHCPv6. Easy renumbering of IPv6 addresses should, in theory, make some privacy protection methods easy to implement. Here's how it works, and and how it doesn't solve all privacy problems.

Tech Bytes: Configure Devices, Stream Telemetry With Nokia’s Free, Open-Source gNMIc (Sponsored)
Today on the Tech Bytes podcast we dive into gNMIc with sponsor Nokia. gNMIc is open-source software you can use to configure devices and collect device telemetry. It can output telemetry to InfluxDB, Prometheus, and SNMP traps. Nokia has contributed gNMIc to the OpenConfig project. We talk with gNMIc creator Karim Radhouani, Technology and Architecture Consulting Engineer at Nokia, about why he developed the tool and how customers are using it.
