Connecting to workstations, servers, or routers
Straight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to workstations, servers, or
routers using network interface cards (NICs).
Fiber cabling is required for direct attachment to Gbps NICs or devicees and routers through fiber
ports. See “Connecting a network device to a fiber port” on page 44.
Automatic MDI or MDIX detection
All 10/100 and Gbps Ethernet copper ports on the Brocade FastIron devices support automatic
Media Dependent Interface (MDI) and Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This
feature is enabled on all 10/100 and Gbps copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable
auto MDI or MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.
For more information about this feature and how configure it, see the FastIron Configuration Guide.
