Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a powerful network access control and policy management solution that enables organizations to securely and efficiently manage network access for employees, guests, and devices. If you're an IT professional or network administrator, you may want to test Cisco ISE in a virtual environment before deploying it in a production environment. To do so, you can use EVE-NG, a powerful network emulation platform that allows you to build complex virtual network topologies and test various network scenarios.

To use Cisco ISE in EVE-NG, you will need to download the Cisco ISE images from a reliable source. In this article, we will walk you through the process of downloading Cisco ISE images for EVE-NG.

Step 1: Register for a Cisco Account

To download the Cisco ISE images, you will need to have a Cisco account. If you don't have one already, you can create one for free on the Cisco website.

Step 2: Download the Cisco ISE Images

Once you have a Cisco account, you can download the Cisco ISE images for EVE-NG. To do so, follow these steps:

1.            Go to the Cisco Software Download page (https://software.cisco.com/download/home).
