118 CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING WIRED PORTS
wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a
straight through Ethernet cable can be used, and the pairs are
matched up properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to
each other, or two end stations are connected to each other, a
crossover cable is used to ensure that the correct pairs are connected.
The possible field values are:
■ MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover) — Use for hubs
and switches.
■ MDI (Media Dependent Interface) — Use for end stations.
■ Auto — Use to automatically detect the cable type.
■ LAG — Displays the LAG for which the port setting parameters are
defined.
