![[Day 43] Cisco ISE Mastery Training: Wireless MAB Authentication](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-43-Cisco-ISE-Mastery-Training-Wireless-MAB-Authentication.png)
Introduction Wireless MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is one of the foundational network access control mechanisms in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) — particularly critical in environments where certain wireless devices cannot perform 802.1X authentication (e.g., IoT sensors, IP phones, barcode scanners, printers). Unlike 802.1X, which […]
Introduction “Today you’ll turn Cisco ISE into an automation platform. We’ll use the ERS (External RESTful Services) API and the MnT (Monitoring) A to do real work: auto-onboard endpoints, push ANC quarantine, read live sessions, and integrate with tools like SecureX/CI/CD. By the end, you’ll […]
Introduction Cisco TrustSec (CTS) extends identity-based access control to the wireless network, ensuring that security group policies follow users regardless of where or how they connect. In a wireless environment, the challenge is higher: clients roam between access points, switch between VLANs, and scale into […]
Introduction Cisco TrustSec (CTS) is a next-generation access control framework that goes beyond traditional IP-based segmentation. Instead of relying on static VLANs and ACLs, it leverages Security Group Tags (SGTs) to dynamically classify traffic, enforce policies consistently across the enterprise, and scale security for modern […]
![[Day 70] Cisco ISE Mastery Training: Wireless NAC End-to-End Lab Validation](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-70-Cisco-ISE-Mastery-Training-Wireless-NAC-End-to-End-Lab-Validation.png)
Introduction Wireless NAC (Network Access Control) is one of the most critical security use-cases in enterprise networks. While wired NAC ensures endpoints connected via switches are authenticated and authorized, wireless NAC validation ensures every mobile, IoT, and BYOD device connecting through Wi-Fi is properly authenticated […]
Introduction iOS Device Onboarding in Cisco ISE is more than just “getting an iPhone onto the Wi-Fi.” In enterprise NAC (Network Access Control) deployments, onboarding refers to the process where unmanaged, personally owned, or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) iOS devices are securely registered, provisioned, […]

Introduction In today’s enterprise networks, passwords are the weakest link. They get reused, stolen, phished, and brute-forced — and once they’re compromised, your wireless network is wide open. Even with strong 802.1X + EAP-PEAP deployments, a single credential leak can let an attacker in from […]
![[Day 42] Cisco ISE Mastery Training: Integrating Cisco WLC for Wireless Access Control](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-42-Cisco-ISE-Mastery-Training-Integrating-Cisco-WLC-for-Wireless-Access-Control.png)
Introduction Wireless networks are the lifeline of modern enterprises — but also a massive attack surface. Without centralized authentication and policy enforcement, wireless SSIDs become easy entry points for unauthorized users, rogue devices, and security breaches. Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) brings RADIUS-based 802.1X/WPA2-Enterprise authentication […]
Introduction In enterprise NAC deployments, 802.1X authentication on wired ports is not just for Windows machines — it’s equally critical for macOS and Linux endpoints. Whether it’s a corporate MacBook on the marketing team’s desk or a Linux workstation in an R&D lab, Cisco ISE […]
![[Day 38] – Cisco ISE Mastery Training: Wired Supplicant Configuration for Windows](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-38-–-Cisco-ISE-Mastery-Training-Wired-Supplicant-Configuration-for-Windows.png)
Introduction In enterprise networks, 802.1X authentication is the backbone of Network Access Control (NAC). For a wired connection, the device’s built-in supplicant — a client software that handles authentication — is the bridge between the endpoint and Cisco ISE.Windows systems come with a native 802.1X […]
