802.1X Authentication with RADIUS ( Microsoft NPS & Active Directory ) on Ruijie Enterprise Part #1

#8021X #radius #activedirectory Timeline of Video: 0:00 Solution Overview & 802.1X Architecture (Active Directory, NPS, RADIUS) 3:35 Why We Start with Enterprise (CLI-First Approach) 4:53 Active Directory (AD) Configuration & User Preparation 8:06 Network Policy Server (NPS) Configuration 12:36 802.1X Configuration on Ruijie Enterprise AP (CLI) 21:05 End-to-End Validation & Authentication Verification In this video, we build 802.1X authentication from the ground up using enterprise-grade architecture. This is Part 1 of a two-part series, where we start with Ruijie Enterprise devices and CLI configuration to fully understand how 802.1X works at the protocol level. You will see how user identity controls network access, how Microsoft NPS acts as a RADIUS server, and how Dynamic VLAN assignment is enforced based on authentication results from Active Directory. 🔍 What’s covered in this video: 802.1X Authentication & Dynamic VLANs - Enterprise Design with Ruijie (Part 1) 802.1X authentication fundamentals (Enterprise approach) RADIUS concepts using Microsoft NPS Active Directory integration Authentication vs Accounting Dynamic VLAN assignment per user Enterprise CLI configuration on Ruijie devices Real validation using: Client connection testing Ruijie Cloud monitoring Windows Event Viewer (Audit Success) This approach is used in enterprise, campus, and high-security networks, where access control and identity-based segmentation are critical. 👉 In Part 2, we will implement the same solution using Ruijie Reyee Access Points, and show how all this complexity is simplified through Cloud and eWeb GUI, without losing the enterprise behavior. 📌 If you want to truly understand 802.1X, not just configure it, this video is for you. #8021X #radius #MicrosoftNPS #activedirectory #DynamicVLAN #networksecurity #enterprisenetworking #ruijie #ruijienetworks #networkengineering #networkengineer #wifisecurity #aaa #authentication #IdentityBasedAccess 802.1X DONE RIGHT (Enterprise) RADIUS + AD + Dynamic VLANs Enterprise WiFi Security Explained From CLI to Cloud - Part 1 (Enterprise CLI → Protocol Understanding → Real Validation) 1️⃣ What is 802.1X In this video, we will understand how 802.1X authentication works using Ruijie, Active Directory, and NPS. 2️⃣ Ruijie Enterprise Lab This lab is built using Ruijie Enterprise devices integrated with Microsoft Active Directory and NPS. 3️⃣ Active Directory Configuration Create users Create security groups Add users to groups 4️⃣ Network Policy Server (NPS) Configuration Register NPS in AD Add RADIUS client (Ruijie AP / Reyee AP) Create policies Apply VLAN attributes per group 5️⃣ Ruijie Access Point - 802.1x Full CLI Configuration AAA RADIUS 802.1X enablement VLAN group Authentication / Accounting profiles Now we configure the Ruijie access point to communicate with the NPS server using 802.1X. 6️⃣ Full Network Configuration Validation VLANs on switch Trunk ports Gateway VLANs Uplink confirmation Nothing is random. Everything is verified. 7️⃣ Live Testing - Phone + Ruijie Cloud (Side by Side) Phone connecting Ruijie Cloud clients page VLAN change confirmation VLAN 1 user - VLAN 1 VLAN 10 user - VLAN 10 Real-time confirmation ✅ Access Granted - VLAN Assigned
