VLAN Configuration

Creating VLANs - CLI

This example creates a new VLAN.

FIG. 136 CLI - Configuring a VLAN Static List

Adding Static Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)

Use the VLAN Static Table to configure port members for the selected VLAN index.

Assign ports as tagged if they are connected to 802.1Q VLAN compliant devices, or untagged they are not connected to any VLAN-aware devices. Or configure a port as forbidden to prevent the switch from automatically adding it to a VLAN via the GVRP protocol.

1.You can also use the VLAN Static Membership by Port page to configure VLAN groups based on the port index (page 129). However, note that this configuration page can only add ports to a VLAN as tagged members.

2.VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN containing all ports on the switch, and can only be modified by first reassigning the default port VLAN ID as described under Configuring VLAN Behavior for Interfaces section on page 130.

Command Attributes

• VLAN:

ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).

 

 

• Name:

Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).

 

 

• Status:

Enables or disables the specified VLAN.

 

• Enable: VLAN is operational.

 

• Disable: VLAN is suspended; i.e., does not pass packets.

 

 

• Port:

Port identifier.

 

 

• Trunk:

Trunk identifier.

 

• Membership Type: Select VLAN membership for each interface by marking the appropriate radio button

 

for a port or trunk:

 

• Tagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will be

 

tagged, that is, carry a tag and therefore carry VLAN or CoS information.

 

• Untagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will

 

be untagged, that is, not carry a tag and therefore not carry VLAN or CoS

 

information. Note that an interface must be assigned to at least one group as an

 

untagged port.

 

• Forbidden: Interface is forbidden from automatically joining the VLAN via GVRP. For

 

more information, see Automatic VLAN Registration on page 124.

 

• None: Interface is not a member of the VLAN. Packets associated with this VLAN will

 

not be transmitted by the interface.

•Trunk Member: Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To add a trunk to the selected VLAN, use the last table on the VLAN Static Table page.

NXA-ENET24 specifications

The AMX NXA-ENET24 is a versatile and powerful networked control interface designed to meet the growing demands of modern AV systems. This network switch offers an exceptional combination of reliability, performance, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for professional environments such as conference rooms, educational facilities, and control rooms.

One of the key features of the NXA-ENET24 is its 24-port configuration, allowing for extensive connectivity options. Each port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring that high bandwidth applications are handled with ease. Additionally, the switch incorporates advanced auto-negotiation technology, which automatically configures the optimal speed and duplex mode for connected devices. This ensures seamless connectivity and minimizes the risk of network disruptions.

The NXA-ENET24 is designed with advanced management capabilities, including support for VLANs, which helps to segment network traffic for enhanced security and performance. Network administrators can easily create virtual local area networks to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where multiple AV systems operate concurrently.

Another significant characteristic of the NXA-ENET24 is its support for Power over Ethernet, or PoE. This feature enables the switch to deliver electrical power alongside data through the network cables. As a result, devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points can be powered directly from the switch, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for additional power sources.

Monitoring and management of the switch are made easier through a user-friendly interface. The NXA-ENET24 supports SNMP for network management, allowing users to monitor performance metrics, configure settings, and receive alerts in case of issues. This level of oversight is crucial for maintaining the stability of AV systems in mission-critical applications.

Durability is another hallmark of the NXA-ENET24 design. The switch features a robust chassis that is engineered to withstand the rigors of professional use. With cooling mechanisms in place and a fanless design, the NXA-ENET24 operates quietly and efficiently, making it suitable for environments where noise is a concern.

In conclusion, the AMX NXA-ENET24 is a powerful, reliable, and feature-rich network switch that effectively supports modern AV applications. With its extensive connectivity options, advanced management capabilities, PoE support, and durable design, it is an excellent choice for integrators and organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure.
