Brocade Communications Systems ICX 6430 Installation Manual page 73

NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. In this case, a straight-through cable may work just as
well as a crossover cable. For more information about this feature, refer to the FastIron Ethernet
Switch Security Configuration Guide.
