model: 'Cisco does not ship a test/live key-pair model for ISE — there is no test-mode credential prefix, no sandbox tenant
  on a Cisco-hosted API host, and no magic test values. Instead Cisco DevNet hosts real ISE instances that a developer can
  reserve and drive with the same APIs. That is the whole test surface: a live appliance, not a simulated one. Nothing here
  is invented — no test credentials are reproduced because the reservable sandboxes issue their own per-reservation credentials
  on the DevNet Sandbox page.'
environments:
- name: Cisco DevNet Sandbox — Identity Services Engine
  url: https://developer.cisco.com/site/sandbox/
  access: reserve or always-on, via a free Cisco DevNet account
  availability: 24x7
  cost: zero
  note: Surfaced on the ISE developer docs Sandbox page as embedded DevNet sandbox widgets (refs 153 and 154). Credentials
    are issued per reservation.
test_values:
  cards: null
  accounts: null
  magic_identifiers: null
  note: None published. An on-premises policy appliance has no equivalent of test card numbers; the sandbox is the fixture.
evaluation_licence:
  term_days: 90
  endpoints: 100
  features: all
  note: 'A second, self-service way to get a working instance: every ISE install grants a 90-day, 100-endpoint evaluation
    licence with every feature enabled.'
