Specifying media type
You can configure the media type on an interface.
If you manually configure the platform to use specific speed and duplex
settings on interfaces, Auto MDI/MDIX functionality is turned off by default.
Additionally, when an interface is set manually, it functions as a data
terminal equipment (DTE) port. This means that crossover cables are
required to connect to other DTE devices (for example, servers), and
straight-through cables are required for connecting to data communications
equipment (DCE) devices (for example, switches or routers). Be sure to use
the correct cable type (straight-through or crossover) if you manually set
interface speed and duplex settings.
