VLAN Configuration

Displaying Current Private VLANs - CLI

This example shows the switch configured with primary VLAN 5 and secondary VLAN 6. Port 3 has been configured as a promiscuous port and mapped to VLAN 5, while ports 4 and 5 have been configured as a host ports and are associated with VLAN 6. This means that traffic for port 4 and 5 can only pass through port 3.

Configuring Private VLANs

The Private VLAN Configuration page is used to create/remove primary or community VLANs.

Command Attributes

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

Type: There are two types of VLANs within a private VLAN:

Primary VLANs - Conveys traffic between promiscuous ports, and to community ports within secondary VLANs.

Community VLANs - Conveys traffic between community ports, and to their associated promiscuous ports.

Current: Displays a list of the currently configured VLANs.

Configuring Private VLANs - Web

Click Private VLAN, Private VLAN Configuration. Enter the VLAN ID number, select Primary or Community type, then click Add. To remove a private VLAN from the switch, highlight an entry in the Current list box and then click Remove.

Note that all member ports must be removed from the VLAN before it can be deleted.

Configuring Private VLANs - CLI

This example configures VLAN 5 as a primary VLAN, and VLAN 6 and 7 as community VLANs.

FIG. 146 CLI - Private VLAN Configuration

Associating Community VLANs

Each community VLAN must be associated with a primary VLAN.

Command Attributes

Primary VLAN ID: ID of primary VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).

Association: Community VLANs associated with the selected primary VLAN.

Non-Association:Community VLANs not associated with the selected primary VLAN.

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.
