Joseph,

Which version of ISE?
Unlike ACS, ISE can use a whitelist to check only domains which you want it to 
look and such.
There are several dashboards on the AD side that will let you know the latency, 
and reports in ISE as well as to how long it takes to fetch a user.
And using Cacti or other monitoring tools you could also check your latency and 
graph it.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] can Active Directory backend for ISE be tested before 
adding all wireless auth?

So we are running ISE which is backended by Active Directory.  We have been 
adding sections of campus to wireless authentication of eduroam and things 
seemed fine with no issues that we could see.  When we finally added the last 
bit of our environment on Friday, this were going great but then Monday 
happened and all hell broke loose and authentication went in the toilet.  It 
seemed that ISE couldn’t get answers from AD fast enough and switched to our DR 
site which made things WAY worse and we had to move all our stuff back to our 
previous platform.  Since that incident, we have tweaked all the settings we 
can find from minimizing DNS lookups to hiding the DR site from ISE.  AD is 
kind of a black box, so there is only so much we see or find documentation for.

My question is, is there a way to test if our AD backend if strong enough to 
handle our campus of 20,000 wireless devices moving around during a class 
change without putting it in production first and crossing our fingers?


Thanks,
Joseph Bernard
