What type of profile is used to specify the radius settings in a Cisco ISE deployment?

The use of a Network Access Device Profile in a Cisco ISE deployment is specifically designed to define and manage the settings related to RADIUS communications. This profile allows administrators to configure various parameters such as RADIUS server details, authentication methods, and encryption settings for the devices that are interfacing with ISE for user authentication and authorization.

In a typical deployment, the Network Access Device Profile can be used to associate specific network devices, like switches or wireless access points, with their corresponding RADIUS configurations. This enables ISE to appropriately handle requests coming from these devices while maintaining security and ensuring that policies are applied consistently across the network.

By specifying RADIUS settings within the Network Access Device Profile, it streamlines the configuration process for the network devices and ensures that authentication requests are processed accurately and efficiently.
