Command Attributes

Command Attributes

•Authentication: Select the authentication, or authentication sequence required:

•Local – User authentication is performed only locally by the switch.

•Radius – User authentication is performed using a RADIUS server only.

•TACACS – User authentication is performed using a TACACS+ server only.

•[authentication sequence] – User authentication is performed by up to three authentication methods in the indicated sequence.

•RADIUS Settings: • Global – Provides globally applicable RADIUS settings.

•Server Index – Specifies one of five RADIUS servers that may be configured. The switch attempts authentication using the listed sequence of servers. The process ends when a server either approves or denies access to a user.

•Server IP Address – Address of authentication server. (Default: 10.1.0.1)

•Server Port Number – Network (UDP) port of authentication server used for authentication messages.

Range: 1-65535

Default: 1812

•Secret Text String – Encryption key used to authenticate logon access for client. Do not use blank spaces in the string.

Maximum length: 20 characters

•Number of Server Transmits – Number of times the switch tries to authenticate logon access via the authentication server.

Range: 0-2147483647

Default: 2

•Timeout for a reply – The number of seconds the switch waits for a reply from the RADIUS server before it resends the request.

Range: 0-2147483647

Default: 5

•TACACS Settings: • Server IP Address – Address of the TACACS+ server.

Default: 10.11.12.13

•Server Port Number – Network (TCP) port of TACACS+ server used for authentication messages.

Range: 1-65535

Default: 49

•Secret Text String – Encryption key used to authenticate logon access for client. Do not use blank spaces in the string.

Maximum length: 20 characters

The local switch user database has to be set up by manually entering user names and passwords using the CLI. (See "username" on page 196.)

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.
