Step 1; Connecting To 10/100 And 10/100/1000 Ports - Cisco IE 3000 Getting Started Manual

Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports

Step 1

When you connect these switches to any
Ethernet-enabled communication devices,
insert a straight-through twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable in a switch 10/100 or
10/100/1000 port. Use a 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.

Follow these steps:
For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover
(auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default on the switch. With auto-MDIX
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 switch 10/100
or 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of device on the other end of
the connection.
