Configuring Crossover Settings

To configure crossover settings on a single port, a range of ports, or an entire slot use the
interfaces crossover
auto duplex are not accepted.
Setting the crossover configuration to auto will configure the interface or interfaces to automatically
detect crossover settings. Setting crossover configuration to mdix will configure the interface or interfaces
for MDIX (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover), which is the standard for hubs and switches.
Setting crossover to mdi will configure the interface or interfaces for MDI (Media Dependent Interface),
which is the standard for end stations. And setting the crossover configuration to disable will disable
crossover configuration on an interface or interfaces.
To configure crossover settings on an entire switch enter interfaces followed by the slot number, cross-
over, and the desired setting. For example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 crossover auto
To configure crossover settings on a single port enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/),
the port number, crossover, and the desired setting. For example, to set the crossover configuration to auto
on port 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 crossover auto
To configure crossover settings on a range of ports enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash
(/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, crossover, and the desired setting. For exam-
ple, to set the crossover configuration to auto on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 crossover auto
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to set the crossover configuration to auto on port 3 on slot 2 and
document the port as Fast Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 crossover auto
