Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cisco IAP Instance Subscription?
A Cisco IAP Instance Subscription is a licensing agreement that grants your organization the right to use specific Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) software features for a defined period, typically one year. It includes access to core server functionalities, high availability, and other essential management capabilities.
What does 'HA Active' mean in this context?
HA Active refers to High Availability. This subscription includes support for an active high availability server, meaning if your primary IAP server fails, a secondary server can take over to ensure continuous network access and policy enforcement, minimizing downtime.
Is this subscription tied to specific hardware?
While this is a software subscription, it is designed to run on Cisco's Identity Services Engine (ISE) platform. The specific hardware requirements would depend on your deployment size and configuration, but the license enables the software features on compatible Cisco hardware.
