Auto-MDIX on an Interface
When automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) is enabled on an interface, the interface
automatically detects the required cable connection type (straight through or crossover) and configures the
connection appropriately. When connecting switches without the auto-MDIX feature, you must use
straight-through cables to connect to devices such as servers, workstations, or routers and crossover cables
to connect to other switches or repeaters. With auto-MDIX enabled, you can use either type of cable to connect
to other devices, and the interface automatically corrects for any incorrect cabling. For more information about
cabling requirements, see the hardware installation guide.
This table shows the link states that result from auto-MDIX settings and correct and incorrect cabling.
