ISE medium distributed deployment with pxgrid and SDA

[mnabeel@ciso.com]

Hi Team,

We are having a medium deployment for ISE with SDA with the following nodes:

• 2 x Admin + MnT + PxGrid
• 2 x PSN

I am concerned with the pxGrid service running on Admin and Monitoring. I have always seen recommendations for pxGrid to run on separate node but release/sizing guide always give the options for the PxGrid on the admin + Mnt nodes as optional. Is it really required pxGrid to run on separate node or we can live up enabling on admin + mnt?

The concurrent users count will be 20k endpoints.

Thanks and Regards..

ISE documentation and Community provide guidance which includes either option, albeit with differing scale:
