Connect to the Switch Ports
This section describes how to connect to the fixed switch ports and to the SFP module ports.
Connect to 10/100 Ports
Follow these steps:
Note The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by
default on switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SE or later. When the auto-MDIX
feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections
and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a
straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100 or 1000BASE-T SFP module port
on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.
Step 1
When you connect to servers,
workstations, IP phones, wireless
access points, and routers, insert a
straight-through, twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable in a switch 10/100
port. Use a crossover, twisted
four-pair, Category 5 cable when you
connect to other switches, hubs, or
repeaters.
Step 2
Insert the other cable end into an RJ-45 connector on the other device.
