You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable
the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) feature.
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, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port
on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.
The Auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default on switches running Cisco IOS
Release 12.2(18)SE or later. For releases between Cisco IOS
Release 12.1(14)EA1 and 12.2(18)SE, the Auto-MDIX feature is disabled by
default. For configuration information for this feature, refer to the switch software
configuration guide or the switch command reference.

For a list of the SFP modules that the switches support, refer to the Catalyst 3750
release notes.
The Catalyst 3750 switch uses Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules to establish
fiber-optic connections. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable,
providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP module slot. You can use
the SFP modules for Gigabit uplink connections to other switches. You use
