In this shortly post we will have a closer look how we can install ISE 2.6 on a virtual machine. I made a short video (My first one) how to go through this easy process of installation. The video has been speeded up, so it may take definetly longer on your machine.
For the adquisition of the image you must be entitle by having a valid contract for this product.
Remark I: I could observed that the VM works better with 16 GB RAM rather than 12. In case you assign less, the only effect is, that the ISE Application wont work fluid. This means, you will ned patience when you click on a link/menu.
Remark II: Keep in mind while choosing a password with special characters that the keyboard layout for the installation is EN-US.
Background music: Johann Sebastian Bach, Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major Prélude
Once all the services are up and running, you will be able to access to the admin portal by opening the https://IP_ADDRESS on your browser. This will take a while depending of the performance of your machine. In my case it always take about 15 minutes… so be patient.
