In this blog post, I'll go through the configuration for TrustSec and SXP for both my Catalyst 3650 switch and wireless controller. I'll walk through the configuration, create the SXP connection, and verify. After that, I'll test out a policy by connecting a client to the switch, watching the tag be applied on ingress and the policy applied.
In this blog post, I'm going to actually configure the Nexus 1000v for TrustSec. I'm going to walk through configuring the SXP connection, downloading the environmental data, and then assigning SGTs to devices.
In this blog post, we're going to go over the configuration of TrustSec in ISE 2.1. This configuration also applies to ISE 2.0 as well for the most part. While TrustSec is not a required configuration for a secure ISE deployment, it definitely has some great advantages. It's a security architecture utilizing security group tags (SGTs) that allows that network to enforce access control policy, reduce ACL complexity, and can be utilized for policy in other security devices which I will go into further in later blog posts when I go over pxGrid on different systems.
In this blog post, I'll go over the configuration of the ASA for TrustSec. This is for the native ASA code - not Firepower. I'll be going over Firepower separately in later blog posts. I'll be going over the configuration of TrustSec, SXP, and writing SGACLs for the ASA in this post. I'll be mostly utilizing the ASDM to make things a little easier and simpler to follow along with.
