MDI and MDIX configuration syntax

The auto MDI/MDIX detection feature is enabled on all Gbps copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable auto MDI/MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.

To turn off automatic MDI/MDIX detection and define a port as an MDI only port.

device(config-if-e1000-2)# mdi-mdix mdi

To turn off automatic MDI/MDIX detection and define a port as an MDIX only port.

device(config-if-e1000-2)# mdi-mdix mdix

To turn on automatic MDI/MDIX detection on a port that was previously set as an MDI or MDIX port.

device(config-if-e1000-2)# mdi-mdix auto

After you enter the mdi-mdix command, the RUCKUS device resets the port and applies the change.

To display the MDI/MDIX settings, including the configured value and the actual resolved setting (for mdi-mdix auto), enter the command show interface at any level of the CLI.
