SIMULATION
The Secure-X company has started to tested the 802.1X authentication deployment using the
Cisco Catalyst 3560-X layer 3 switch and the Cisco ISEvl2 appliance. Each employee desktop will
be connected to the 802.1X enabled switch port and will use the Cisco AnyConnect NAM
802.1X supplicant to log in and connect to the network.
Your particular tasks in this simulation are to create a new identity source sequence named
AD_internal which will first use the Microsoft Active Directory (AD1) then use the ISE Internal
User database. Once the new identity source sequence has been configured, edit the existing
DotlX authentication policy to use the new AD_internal identity source sequence.
The Microsoft Active Directory (AD1) identity store has already been successfully configured,
you just need to reference it in your configuration.
In addition to the above, you are also tasked to edit the IT users authorization policy so IT users
who successfully authenticated will get the permission of the existing IT_Corp authorization
profile.
Perform this simulation by accessing the ISE GUI to perform the following tasks:
• Create a new identity source sequence named AD_internal to first use the Microsoft Active
Directory (AD1) then use the ISE Internal User database
• Edit the existing Dot1X authentication policy to use the new AD_internal identity source
sequence:
• If authentication failed-reject the access request
• If user is not found in AD-Drop the request without sending a response
• If process failed-Drop the request without sending a response
• Edit the IT users authorization policy so IT users who successfully authenticated will get the
permission of the existing IT_Corp authorization profile.
To access the ISE GUI, click the ISE icon in the topology diagram. To verify your configurations,
from the ISE GUI, you should also see the Authentication Succeeded event for the it1 user after
you have successfully defined the DotlX authentication policy to use the Microsoft Active
Directory first then use the ISE Internal User Database to authenticate the user. And in the
Authentication Succeeded event, you should see the IT_Corp authorization profile being
applied to the it1 user. If your configuration is not correct and ISE can’t authenticate the user
against the Microsoft Active Directory, you should see the Authentication Failed event instead
for the it1 user.
Note: If you make a mistake in the Identity Source Sequence configuration, please delete the
Identity Source Sequence then re-add a new one. The edit Identity Source Sequence function is
not implemented in this simulation.
Answer: See the explanation
Explanation:
Step 1: create a new identity source sequence named AD_internal which will first use theMicrosoft Active Directory (AD1) then use the ISE Internal User database as shown below:
Step 2: Edit the existing Dot1x policy to use the newly created Identity Source:
Then hit Done and save.
