Following the BU's advice, we engaged customer to migrate ACS to ISE. The customer is testing the ISE to see if they can place the ACS server with ISE. He has successfully move the database and stuff from ACS server to an ISE appliance from demo deport. Now, he tries to replicate what they have done with ACS to the ISE. Here is what their automated process does with ACS:
1. Export ACS all the devices on the ACS DB using:
connector.sendline('export-data device Export ' + export_data_file + ' ' + export_data_status + ' none')
2. Dump all the network devices from our network inventory(managed by network team)
3. Compare the device data to find out:
a. Devices newly added, and create a file for import to ACS
b. Devices removed from the inventory, and create a file for deletion from ACS
c. Devices modified. Adding the hosts into deletion file, and also adding the hosts into the addition file
4. Import the deletion file first using:
connector.sendline('import-data delete device Export ' + delete_data_file + ' ' + delete_data_result_file + ' cont-on-error none')
5. Import the addition file using:
connector.sendline('import-data add device Export ' + add_data_file + ' ' + add_data_result_file + ' cont-on-error none')
They would like to duplicate what we are doing current on ACS if possible.
Is there any document that we can share with the customer about this? Are there Python code samples we can share with the customer so that he can achieve this on ISE?
Thanks in advance.
