Cisco Unified Access CT5760 User Manual

Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have the speed and duplex parameters manually set can
reduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
• Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Set the interface speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
Auto-MDIX Connections
The autonegotiation and the auto-MDIX features are enabled by default on the switch.
With autonegotiation, the switch port configurations change to operate at the speed of the attached device. If
the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the switch interface speed and
duplex parameters.
With auto-MDIX, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures
the interface accordingly.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in this table to select the correct cable.

100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher. 10BASE-T
traffic can use Category 3 cable or higher.
PoE+ and Cisco UPOE Port Connections
The 10/100/1000 PoE+ and Cisco UPOE ports have the same autonegotiation settings and cabling requirements
that are described in the 10/100/1000 Port Connections, on page 49. These ports can provide PoE, PoE+, or
Cisco UPOE inline power.
Be careful when connecting a “snagless” Ethernet cable to port 1 on a 48-port switch. The protective boot of
the cable might inadvertently press the Mode button, which might cause the switch to erase its startup
configuration and reboot. See this field notice for more information: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/
docs/field-notices/636/fn63697.html
This issue does not occur if you are using Cisco IOS XE Release 3E or later releases.
