switchport priority

Syntax:

switchport priority default default-priority-id

This command sets a

no switchport priority default

default-priority-id - The priority number for untagged ingress traffic.

priority for incoming

The priority is a number from 0 to 7. Seven is the highest priority.

untagged frames.

Use the no form to restore

Default Setting: The priority is not set, and the default value for untagged frames

the default value.

received on the interface is zero.

 

Command Mode: Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

 

Command Usage: The precedence for priority mapping is IP Port, IP Prece-

 

dence or IP DSCP, and default switchport priority.

 

The default priority applies for an untagged frame received on a port set to accept

 

all frame types (i.e, receives both untagged and tagged frames). This priority does

 

not apply to IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagged frames. If the incoming frame is an IEEE

 

802.1Q VLAN tagged frame, the IEEE 802.1p User Priority bits will be used.

 

This switch provides eight priority queues for each port. It is configured to use

 

Weighted Round Robin, which can be viewed with the show queue bandwidth

 

command. Inbound frames that do not have VLAN tags are tagged with the input

 

port’s default ingress user priority, and then placed in the appropriate priority

 

queue at the output port. The default priority for all ingress ports is zero. There-

 

fore, any inbound frames that do not have priority tags will be placed in queue 0 of

 

the output port. (Note that if the output port is an untagged member of the associ-

 

ated VLAN, these frames are stripped of all VLAN tags prior to transmission.)

 

Example: The following example shows how to set a default priority on port 3 to

 

5:

 

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/3

 

Console(config-if)#switchport priority default 5

 

 

queue bandwidth

Syntax:

This command assigns

queue bandwidth weight1...weight4

weighted round-robin

no queue bandwidth

• weight1...weight4 - The ratio of weights for queues 0-3 determines the weights

(WRR) weights to the four

used by the WRR scheduler. However, note that Queue 0 is fixed at a weight of

class of service (CoS)

1, and cannot be configured. (Range: 1-31)

priority queues.

Default Setting: Weights 1, 2, 4, 6 are assigned to queues 0-3 respectively.

Use the no form to restore

the default weights.

Queue 0 is non-configurable.

Command Mode: Global Configuration

 

 

Command Usage: WRR controls bandwidth sharing at the egress port by defin-

 

ing scheduling weights.

 

Example: This example shows how to assign WRR weights to priority queues

 

1 - 3:

 

Console(config)#queue bandwidth 6 9 12

 

Console(config)#

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.
