ISE SGTs versus custom SGT rule conditions

Some rules allow you to control traffic based on assigned SGT. Depending on the rule type and your identity source configuration, you can use either ISE-assigned SGTs or custom SGTs to match traffic with assigned SGT attributes.

Note

If you use ISE SGTs to match traffic, even if a packet does not have an assigned SGT attribute, the packet still matches an ISE SGT rule if the SGT associated with the packet's source IP address is known in ISE.

This table compares ISE SGT and custom SGT rule conditions.
