Load Balance Cisco ISE servers
Trying to load Balance several Cisco ISE servers. For persistence, Cisco recommends using Calling-Station-ID and Framed-IP-address...Session-ID is recommended if load balancer is capable of it. I have documentation for the Cisco ACE, but using F5 LTM's. Assuming this has to be done with an I-Rule as none of these are available as a default. Not sue where to begin. I tried attaching the Cisco PDF, but not able for whatever reason. If anyone has any examples of knowledge of how to do this, would be appreciated. I can send the Cisco document via e-mail if that helps. I just am not able to attach it to this forum???

Did you get this working? I need the same persistence.

How to avoid SNAT as well on top of it?
if return packet passes through bigip (e.g. server's default gateway is bigip), you do not need to configure snat automap under virtual server configuration.
is this what you are asking?

I have tried this script and it worked as per our expectation. Thanks for sharing the script.

Hello Amarya - What script you are referring here ? CAn you please share as I am configuring ISE with LB in our company.

Any Idea how we can change the persistence timeout in this case.

You should be able to just change the timeout wherever you've used the 'persist uie' command in your rule. See here for more information: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.persist.ashx

Hi All
can anyone shared how they have configured there VIPs to load balance the CISCO ISE servers.
- Amartya_Ghosh_1

You can refer below config:
Virtual-Server:ltm virtual vs_CISCO_ISE_xxxx { destination X.X.X.X:radius ip-protocol udp mask 255.255.255.255 pool Pool_CISCO_ISE_xxxx profiles { CISCO_ISE_UDP { } radiusLB { } } rules { ISE_Rule } }============
Profiles:ltm profile udp CISCO_ISE_UDP { datagram-load-balancing enabled defaults-from udp }
ltm profile radius radiusLB { clients none persist-avp none }

Amartya, Can you give me the syntax of the iRule used for this? I can't seem to get it working.

Amartya Ghosh, can you go more into what you used for the iRule as part of your solution?

You'll want to ensure you load balance both your accounting and authentication packets to the same node. I did this with two VIPs, and used Match Across Services in a universal persistence profile and calling station ID in the iRule.

Joe B, Can I perhaps get the template for the iRule syntax? Thats my problem, I can't get that correct. much appreciated! - Nick_Ehlers_132

Joe, Any chance you could grab me the syntax for the iRule for calling station ID ? I tried copy pasting the one above but it didn't work.
