Command

Function

 

 

show dot1x (Cont.)

tx-period Time a port waits during authentication session before re-

 

transmitting EAP packet (page 4-86).

 

supplicant-timeout Supplicant timeout.

 

server-timeout Server timeout.

 

reauth-max Maximum number of reauthentication attempts.

 

max-req Maximum number of times a port will retransmit an EAP

 

request/identity packet to the client before it times out the authentication

 

session (page 4-82).

 

Status– Authorization status (authorized or not).

 

Operation Mode– Shows if single or multiple hosts (clients) can connect

 

to an 802.1X-authorized port.

 

Max Count– The maximum number of hosts allowed to access this port

 

(page 4-83).

 

Port-control–Shows the dot1x mode on a port as auto, force-authorized,

 

or force-unauthorized (page 4-83).

 

Supplicant– MAC address of authorized client.

 

Current Identifier– The integer (0-255) used by the Authenticator to

 

identify the current authentication session.

 

• Authenticator State Machine

 

State– Current state (including initialize, disconnected, connecting,

 

authenticating, authenticated, aborting, held, force_authorized,

 

force_unauthorized).

 

Reauth Count– Number of times connecting state is re-entered.

 

• Backend State Machine

 

State– Current state (including request, response, success, fail, timeout,

 

idle, initialize).

 

Request Count– Number of EAP Request packets sent to the Supplicant

 

without receiving a response.

 

Identifier(Server)– Identifier carried in the most recent EAP Success,

 

Failure or Request packet received from the Authentication Server.

 

• Reauthentication State Machine

 

State– Current state (including initialize, reauthenticate).

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.
