See the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more
information about autonegotiation and auto-MDIX.
For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled
by default. With auto-MDIX enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections
and configures the interface accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable
for connections to an Ethernet port, regardless of the type of connected device.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in Cables and Adapters to select the cable for connecting the
Ethernet ports to other devices.
See the section Cables and Connectors for information on the cables and connectors.
