Note
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair,
Category 5 cable.
Note
You can use the
mdix auto
interface configuration command in the CLI to enable
the Auto-MDIX feature. When the Auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch
detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the
interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a
straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100 or 1000BASE-T SFP
module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the
connection.
The Auto-MDIX feature is disabled by default. For configuration information for
this feature, refer to the switch software configuration guide or the switch
command reference
.
