IP Interface Commands

There are no IP addresses assigned to this switch by default. You must manually configure a new address to manage the switch over your network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between this device and the management stations.

ip address

Syntax:

This command sets the

ip address {ip-address netmask bootp dhcp} [secondary]

IP address for the

no ip address

ip-address - IP address

currently selected

• netmask - Network mask for the associated IP subnet. This mask identifies the host

VLAN interface.

Use the no form to

address bits used for routing to specific subnets.

• bootp - Obtains IP address from BOOTP.

restore the default IP

address.

• dhcp - Obtains IP address from DHCP.

 

• secondary - Specifies a secondary IP address.

 

Default Setting: DHCP

 

Command Mode: Interface Configuration (VLAN)

 

Command Usage: If this router is directly connected to end node devices (or con-

 

nected to end nodes via shared media) that will be assigned to a specific subnet,

 

then you must create a router interface for each VLAN that will support routing. The

 

router interface consists of an IP address and subnet mask. This interface address

 

defines both the network number to which the router interface is attached and the

 

router’s host number on that network. In other words, a router interface address

 

defines the network and subnetwork numbers of the segment that is connected to

 

that interface, and allows you to send IP packets to or from the router.

 

Before you configure any network interfaces on this router, you should first create a

 

VLAN for each unique user group, or for each network application and its associated

 

users. Then assign the ports associated with each of these VLANs.

 

You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access over the

 

network. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to

 

obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four

 

numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be

 

accepted by the configuration program.

 

An interface can have only one primary IP address, but can have many secondary IP

 

addresses. In other words, you will need to specify secondary addresses if more than

 

one IP subnet can be accessed via this interface.

 

If you select the bootp or dhcp option, IP is enabled but will not function until a

 

BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests will be broadcast periodically by

 

this device in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include

 

the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask).

 

You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by entering an ip dhcp restart

 

command, or by rebooting the router switch.

 

Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the default is VLAN 1). This

 

defines the management VLAN, the only VLAN through which you can gain manage-

 

ment access to the switch. If you assign an IP address to any other VLAN, the new IP

 

address overrides the original IP address and this becomes the new management

 

VLAN.

 

Example: In the following example, the device is assigned an address in VLAN 1:

 

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

 

Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

 

Console(config-if)#

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.
