Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) automatically detects the need for a straight-through or crossover cable connection and configures the connection appropriately. This removes the need for crossover cables to interconnect switches and ensures either type of cable can be used. The speed and duplex setting of an interface must be set to Auto for Auto-MDIX to operate correctly.
Auto MDIX is supported on all platforms with fixed copper ports. All fixed copper ports are supported.
