Panorama Plugin for Cisco TrustSec
The Panorama plugin for Cisco TrustSec enables you to
create security policy for your TrustSec environment using dynamic address
groups. The plugin monitors for changes in TrustSec security groups
and registers that information with Panorama and forwards IP information
to the firewall, so Panorama can apply the correct policy to corresponding
endpoints. The Panorama plugin for Cisco TrustSec supports up to
16 pxGrid (Cisco ISE) servers.
The Panorama plugin for Cisco TrustSec currently supports
dynamic objects but not static objects.
The Panorama plugin processes the endpoint information and converts
it to a set of tags that you can use as match criteria for placing
IP addresses in dynamic address groups. Panorama creates a tag for
each security group tag (SGT) on your pxGrid servers. The tags are
constructed in the following format:
cts.svr_<pxgrid-server-name>.sgt_<SGT-name>
To retrieve endpoint IP-address-to-tag mapping information, you
must configure a Monitoring Definition for each pxGrid server in
your environment. The pxGrid server configuration specifies the
username and password and is referenced by the monitoring definition
that allows Panorama to connect to the pxGrid. Additionally, you
can configure the plugin to verify the pxGrid server identity with
a certificate profile on Panorama. It also specifies the device
groups and corresponding notify groups containing the firewalls
to which Panorama pushes the tags. After you configure the Monitoring
Definition and the plugin retrieves the tags, you can create dynamic
address groups and add the tags as match criteria.
The Panorama Plugin for Cisco TrustSec version 1.0.2 and later
supports Bulk Sync and PubSub monitoring modes. The plugin selects
a mode based on the Panorama version—Bulk Sync mode if the Panorama
version is earlier than 10.0.0, and PubSub mode on Panorama 10.0.0
and later. The user interface displays the configuration options
for the default monitoring mode.
Bulk Sync
Bulk Sync mode uses two intervals to retrieve information
from your pxGrid servers—the monitoring interval and full-sync interval.
This mode is the default when the Panorama Plugin for Cisco TrustSec
version 1.0.2 or later is installed on a Panorama version earlier
than 10.0.0. Panorama versions earlier than 10.0.0 support IP-tab
updates to configd every 10 seconds.
- Monitoring interval—The monitoring interval is the amount of time that the plugin waits before querying for changes. If no changes have occurred, the monitoring interval resets. If there are changes, the plugin processes the changes before resetting the monitoring interval. The default monitoring interval is 60 seconds. You can set the monitoring interval from 10 seconds to one day (86,400 seconds).The minimum monitoring interval is 30 seconds when the Panorama plugin for Cisco TrustSec 1.0.0 is installed.
- Full-sync interval—The full-sync interval is the amount of time that the plugin waits before updating the dynamic objects from all pxGrid servers regardless of any changes occurred. This ensures that the plugin is synchronized with the pxGrid server even if a change event is missed by the monitoring interval. You can set the full-sync interval from 600 seconds (10 minutes) to 86,400 seconds (one day). You must configure the full-sync interval from the Panorama CLI.
If the monitoring interval is greater than the full-sync
interval, the full-sync interval is ignored and a full synchronization
is performed at every monitoring interval.
PubSub
PubSub mode monitors notifications directly from the
Cisco ISE server (the subscription daemon), parses for IP tags,
and sends relevant information to the tag processing daemon (tag-proc).
PubSub is the default mode when the Panorama Plugin for Cisco TrustSec
version 1.0.2 or later is installed on Panorama version 10.0.0 or
later. Panorama versions 10.0.0 or later support IP-tab updates
to configd every 100 milliseconds.
- Push interval—The push interval is the amount of time between pushes. If the previous push takes too much time, the next push is triggered as soon as it finishes. The minimum push interval is 100 milliseconds (0 seconds) and the maximum is 60 seconds. The default push interval is 0 seconds.
- Enable Full Sync—Enable this option to trigger a complete update. If you enable full sync, you can set the full-sync interval. Default is no.
- Full-sync interval—The full-sync interval is the amount of time that the plugin waits before updating the dynamic objects from all pxGrid servers regardless of any changes occurred. The default full-sync interval is 10 minutes. You can set the full-sync interval from 600 seconds (10 minutes) to 86,400 seconds (one day). You must configure the full-sync interval from the Panorama CLI.
- Reconnection interval—The initial reconnection interval is 1 second, and it is doubled if the previous reconnection failed. The maximum reconnection interval is 64 sec. There is no limit to the number of reconnection attempts.
