Nexus Dashboard RBAC Configuration Guide for Cluster nd03-2

Following the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) configuration for the first Nexus Dashboard cluster (nd03-1), this guide outlines the equivalent process for the second cluster, nd03-2. The steps mirror the previous configuration with minor adjustments for the new cluster.

Step 1 - Login to Nexus Dashboard nd03-2

Launch a new browser instance or tab to access the Nexus Dashboard for cluster nd03-2.

Summary

You configured RBAC on the second Nexus Dashboard cluster using the same ISE/TACACS+ integration as ND1. Having consistent authentication across both clusters means administrators use one set of credentials to manage the entire multi-site environment. ND makes it straightforward to replicate security policies across clusters.
