Understanding Online Insertion and Removal
The online insertion and removal (OIR) feature supported on the Catalyst 4500 series switch allows you
to remove and replace modules while the system is online. You can shut down the module before
removal and restart it after insertion without causing other software or interfaces to shut down.
Table 7-4 Auto-MDIX and Operational State
Auto-MDIX Setting and Operational State
on an Interface Description
Auto-MDIX on (operational: on) Auto-MDIX is enabled and is fully functioning.
Auto-MDIX on (operational: off) Auto-MDIX is enabled on this interface but it is
not functioning. To allow auto-MDIX feature to
function properly, you must also set the interface
speed to be autonegotiated.
Auto-MDIX off Auto-MDIX has been disabled with the
no mdix auto command.
