Port Status and Basic Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters
The Auto-MDIX features apply only to copper port switches using twisted-pair
copper Ethernet cables.
Syntax: interface ethernet < port-list > mdix-mode < auto-mdix | mdi | mdix >
auto-mdix is the default. This configures the port for automatic
detection of the cable (either straight-through or crossover)
mdi configures the port for connecting to a PC or other MDI device
with a crossover cable (Manual mode)
mdix configures the port for connecting to a switch, hub, or other
MDI-X device with a straight-through cable (Manual mode)
Use show interfaces brief to list the settings the switch has
negotiated in the case of the auto-mdix setting, or to list the state
the switch has set in the case of mdi, mdix, and auto-mdix before
link. To see these settings using the menu interface choose the
“4. Port Status” option under “1. Status and Counters”.
Use show interfaces config to list the running configuration for auto-
mdix.
Note Upgrading the switch Operating System from E_07.XX or before:
1. Copper ports in auto-negotiation still default to auto-mdix mode.
2. Copper ports in forced speed/duplex default to mdix mode.
For a fresh installation of the operating system auto-mdix is the default.
