Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)?
Cisco ISE is a security solution that provides network access control, policy enforcement, and visibility into devices and users connecting to your network. It helps ensure that only authorized and compliant endpoints can access network resources.
What does a VM license enable?
A VM license allows you to deploy Cisco ISE as a virtual machine on your own hardware or in a virtualized environment. This license specifies the capacity, such as the number of users or endpoints it supports.
What is the difference between a VM license and a hardware appliance?
A VM license is for software deployed on virtual infrastructure, offering flexibility and potentially lower hardware costs. A hardware appliance is a dedicated physical device for ISE, often chosen for specific performance or deployment requirements.
