This connector is used to monitor and configure CISCO ISE devices via SNMP.

About

The CISCO ISE is a security management platform used to provide secure policy-based access to network resources.

The platform provides the following features:

  • System access control using a combination of authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA), posture and profiler on appliance.
  • Support for discovery, profiling, policy-based placement and monitoring of end-point devices on the network.
  • Support for a consistent policy in centralized and distributed deployments.
  • Support for scalability on a number of deployment scenarios.
