Reimage the Cisco SNS 3500 Series Appliance
The Cisco SNS-3500 series appliances do not have built-in DVD drives. Therefore, to reimage a Cisco ISE
hardware appliance with Cisco ISE software, you can do one of the following:
The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure
boot feature. This feature ensures that only a Cisco-signed ISE image can be installed on the SNS 3515
and SNS 3595 appliances, and prevents installation of any unsigned operating system even with physical
access to the device. For example, generic operating systems, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft
Windows cannot boot on this appliance.
Note
The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support only Cisco ISE 2.0.1 or later releases. You cannot install a
release earlier than 2.0.1 on the SNS 3515 or SNS 3595 appliance.
•
Use the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) interface to map the installation .iso file to
the virtual DVD device. See
Install ISE 2.0.1 on the Cisco SNS 3515 or 3595 Appliance Remotely Using
CIMC, on page 32
.
•
Create an install DVD with the installation .iso file and plug in an USB external DVD drive and boot
the appliance from the DVD drive.
•
Create a bootable USB device using the installation .iso file and boot the appliance from the USB drive.
