• Where a port is linked to another device, this command lists the MDI mode the port is currently using.
• In the case of ports configured for
Auto
(
auto-mdix
), the MDI mode appears as either
MDI
or
MDIX
,
depending upon which option the port has negotiated with the device on the other end of the link.
• In the case of ports configured for
MDI
or
MDIX
, the mode listed in this display matches the configured setting.
• If the link to another device was up, but has gone down, this command shows the last operating MDI mode the
port was using.
• If a port on a given switch has not detected a link to another device since the last reboot, this command lists
the MDI mode to which the port is currently configured.
The
show interfaces config
displays the following data when port A1 is configured for
auto-mdix
, port A2
is configured for
mdi
, and port A3 is configured for
mdix
:

Using friendly (optional) port names
This feature enables you to assign alphanumeric port names of your choosing to augment automatically assigned
numeric port names. This means you can configure meaningful port names to make it easier to identify the source
of information listed by some
show
commands. (Note that this feature
augments
port numbering, but
does not
replace
it.)
