Mdix Auto: All possibilities to connect a PC with cross OR normal cables are supported and are automatically detected.

Mdix ON: It is possible to connect to a PC only with a normal cable and to connect to another switch ONLY with a cross cable.

If MDIX is set to "no mdix", the device works opposite from the "MDIX On" behavior. With this setting you can only use either an ethernet standard cross-over cable to connect to a PC, or an ethernet standard cable to connect to another switch.

Example

In the following example, automatic crossover is enabled on g5.

Console(config)# interface ethernet g5

Console(config-if)# mdix auto
