Hi all,
we initially planned on using Cisco CBS350-series switches?as a switching backbone for Crestron NVX (being the "recommended follow-up" of the SG350X series for which Crestron's answer ID?1000314 provides configuration samples, and they are very interesting in terms of pricing and availability).
But even after configuring a factory-default switch with minimum configuration according to the SG350X configuration sample, we ran into an issue where stopping the stream on a NVX decoder would have the formerly connected NVX encoder appear to "remain connected" (NV-led on the encoder remains lit), resulting in the network becoming sluggish up to the point where the network basically became inaccessible, even on a single-switch deployment. Disconnecting the NVX encoder from the LAN would restore the LAN-network, and replugging the NVX encoder AFTER its NV-led turned off, would return everything to normal (up to the point when a stream to a decoder was disconnected again).
So we're considering different switches now to overcome this issue on a short term, but for the long term, I would like to see if I can get this issue tackled with the CBS350 series and have NVX operate reliably on them.?Being the SG350X's follow-up, I can imagine my issue resulted from a simple/small configuration flaw, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with issues similar to the one described above, hoping to get to a solution faster.
Because although the switch appears to support minimum NVX requirements, with the switch not being in Crestron's answer ID 1000314 and the issues noted with the SG350X, they suggest moving to another series of switches.?
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear!
