MDI/MDIX Crossover
Use this selection to set the wiring configuration of the port. The
configuration can be Auto, MDI, or MDI-X. The default setting is
Auto.
The default Auto setting activates the auto-MDI/MDI-X feature on
a port, which enables a port to configure itself automatically as
MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end node. This allows you to
use a straight-through twisted pair cable when connecting any
type of network device to a port on the switch.
The Auto setting is only available when a port is set to Auto-
Negotiate its speed and duplex mode. It is also the only setting
available when a port’s speed and duplex are set through Auto-
Negotiation.
The auto-MDI/MDI-X feature is not available if you disable Auto-
Negotiation on a port and set a port’s speed and duplex mode
manually. A port where Auto-Negotiation has been disabled
defaults to MDI-X. Disabling Auto-Negotiation may require that
you manually configure a port’s MDI/MDI-X setting using this
option or use a crossover cable.
Once you have made the desired changes, click Apply.
The switch activates the parameter changes on the port.
