NPS for device management using local and AD database

Question

We are using NPS to authenticate access to Cisco switches, we want to know how to configure the NPS to use the switch local users and AD as we had it.

Any suggestions on where to go in the NPS to make this work?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Q&A!

Following is a guide on how to have Microsoft Active Directory user accounts in a security group authenticate to Cisco gear.

First add the cisco switch as a radius client, and create a new network policy.

Add your already created Windows AD security group and ok out of the prompts.

After configuring this NPS plociy for AD security group, configure the same on a local users group.

Hope you have a nice day : )
