How to prevent NVY traffic to go out of M4300 ?
Hi I have a system where I use the M4300 for Crestron NVX system (Video over IP system). So far the NVX system on the M4300 works perfect but I have an issue. To be able to control NVX devices I...
Thank you, vincelaus
To answer your questions in the right order:
- Correct, please apply the "Video" profile to all ports. Don't create a new profile, it doesn't seem to me you need it. Instead, in the AV UI, go to Network Profiles\Configure page. Find the Configured Profiles table in the middle of the page. You should see Default VLAN 1 in the table. Use the three little dots on the right, and select Edit. In the popup edit window, find the Template dropdown menu, select it, find Video and select it. Click Apply to close the popup window. If you now see Video under "AV template" in the List of configured profiles, you're good. Click Save on the upper right.
- Yes, go to Multicast page, select the port going to the main network, and use the dropdown menu to select "Block". Click Apply. A small block icon will appear on the switch representation image, at the top of the page. Click Save (blue button) on the upper right again. So does all of it survives to the reboots.
- Yes, unlike M4250 or M4350, M4300 doesn't have Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG enabled by default. You need to manually enable both in the AV UI. It's easy. At the top of the page "Network Profiles\Configure', toggle on Auto-Trunk. Click Save on the upper right. Next, go to Link Aggregation page, and toggle on Auto-LAG. Click Save again on the upper right.
- Auto-LAG will take care of everything for you, don't worry. Yes, for multicast, don't touch the Default L2 hashing algorithm, it's optimized to parse traffic based on multicast groups (Multicast MACs). Just connect the switches together with 2, 3, or 4 10G in between. For instance, the 2 10G copper ports using CAT6A cables. Or the 2 10G SFP+ ports using 10G DAC cables. Or all four ports all together if really you have that much traffic expected.
I think you're all set! Have a great weekend.
Thanks a lot for all your explanations that make it a lot easier to understand.
I have upgraded both switches so now I have well the AV UI login 😉
If I have well understood your explanations:
- I apply on both Switches the Crestron profile on all ports.
- I block the Multicast on the port I use to connect the NVX network with main network.
- I activate in both switches the Auto-Trunk and Auto-Lag
- I'm all good, right ?
Just something about Auto-Lag, it doesn't ask anything about size of it (I'll do it physically linking one of the 2 10G ports of each switch together) but it asks for Auto-Lag Hash setup by default at Layer 2: Destination. Default is ok for it ?
