Chapter 1
Cabling
100BASE-TX traffic requires Category 5 cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use
Category 3 or Category 4 cables.
When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, and routers,
straight-through cables are normally used. However, the automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature of the switch is
enabled by default and will automatically re-configure the ports to use either
straight-through or crossover cable type.
Auto-MDIX Feature
The Auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. When the auto-MDIX feature
is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type (straight-through or
crossover) for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces
accordingly.
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to disable the auto-MDIX
feature. See the online help for more information.
