Command	Function

spanning-tree edge-port	Syntax:
This command specifies an	[no] spanning-tree edge-port
interface as an edge port.	Default Setting: Disabled
Use the no form to restore the	Command Mode: Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
default.	Command Usage: You can enable this option if an interface is attached to
	a LAN segment that is at the end of a bridged LAN or to an end node. Since
	end nodes cannot cause forwarding loops, they can pass directly through to
	the spanning tree forwarding state. Specifying Edge Ports provides quicker
	convergence for devices such as workstations or servers, retains the cur-
	rent forwarding database to reduce the amount of frame flooding required to
	rebuild address tables during reconfiguration events, does not cause the
	spanning tree to initiate reconfiguration when the interface changes state,
	and also overcomes other STA-related timeout problems. However, remem-
	ber that Edge Port should only be enabled for ports connected to an end-
	node device.
	This command has the same effect as the spanning-tree portfast.
	Example:
	Console(config)#interface ethernet ethernet 1/5
	Console(config-if)#spanning-tree edge-port
	Console(config-if)#

spanning-tree portfast	Syntax:
This command sets an interface	[no] spanning-tree portfast
to fast forwarding.	Default Setting: Disabled
Use the no form to disable fast	Command Mode: Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
forwarding.	Command Usage: This command is used to enable/disable the fast span-
	ning-tree mode for the selected port. In this mode, ports skip the Discarding
	and Learning states, and proceed straight to Forwarding.
	Since end-nodes cannot cause forwarding loops, they can be passed
	through the spanning tree state changes more quickly than allowed by stan-
	dard convergence time. Fast forwarding can achieve quicker convergence
	for end-node workstations and servers, and also overcome other STA
	related timeout problems. (Remember that fast forwarding should only be
	enabled for ports connected to a LAN segment that is at the end of a
	bridged LAN or for an end-node device.)
	This command is the same as spanning-tree edge-port, and is only included
	for backward compatibility with earlier products. Note that this command
	may be removed for future software versions.
	Example:
	Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
	Console(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast
	Console(config-if)#

252	NXA-ENET24 - Software Management Guide

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.
