MDI and MDI-X Connections
BayStack switches use MDI-X ports that allow you to connect directly to end
stations without using crossover cables (see
). Ports that implement the
crossover function internally are known as MDI-X ports (where “X” refers to the
crossover function).
Figure 4-1.
MDI-X to MDI cable connections
Note:
For the transmitter of one device to connect to the receiver of another
device, the sum of crossovers must always be an odd number.
