•MDI/MDIX — Displays the MDI/MDIX status on the port. Hubs and switches are deliberately wired opposite
the way end stations are wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a straight through
Ethernet cable can be used, and the pairs are matched up properly. When two hubs or switches are
connected to each other, or two end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to ensure
that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are:

–MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover) — Use for hubs and switches.
