interface supports transmission between the device and the client in only
one direction at a time. The Duplex Mode field is configurable only when
auto negotiation is disabled, and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. The
Duplex Mode field cannot be configured on LAGs.
•
MDI/MDIX — Displays the Media Dependent Interface (MDI)/Media
Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX) status on the port. Hubs and
switches are deliberately wired the opposite of the way end stations are
wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a
straight through Ethernet cable can be used, and the pairs are matched up
properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to each other, or two
end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to
ensure that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are:
-
Auto
