What is auto-MDIX?
MDIX stands for the media independent interface with the crossover which is the port on the network switch, router, etc. They are connected with the help of the fiber optic, twisted pair cable, and the RJ-45 connector.it is used in the transmission of the data and it is like an ethernet interface. The correct cable selection is essential because the transmission is essential for the connection.
This topic is about auto-MDIX? And its features? The impact of the auto-MDIX on the selection of the cable? So, stay cling to the end of the discussion to obtain the correct knowledge about auto-MDIX.
Auto MDIX and characteristics
As the medium independent interface determine the physical and electrical interface on the network the auto-MDIX if the connection for the transmission needs the crossover and automatically selects the MDIX correctly to the other end of the link.
the MDI transmits the signal to the router and the transmitted signal from the switch is received in a figure or pattern of crossover the workstation .in a simple way the input and output signals are reversed and it will cause the removal of the twisted pair cable on MDIX port.
Then it has established the connection with simple Ethernet cable and the MDIX with a crossover cable (twisted pair) to differentiate between the MDI or auto-MDIX the word auto which means it can automatically detect the port which also determined if the crossover or simple wire is needed or not. The speed and the few management are also done by the auto feature of MDIX. if the connection is established in the wrong form the feature makes it reset because without this it causes the fails of the transmission.
For the connection of the same type such as MDIX to MDIX, the crossover twisted cable is used so that the signal will match due to the crossover, that’s why the auto-MDIX is established because it can select the needed cable of its use. And for the correct working of the auto-MDIX, the speed of the data needs to be auto. With the auto-MDIX, the resolution time is <500ms.
Nowadays the Dove promoted auto-MDIX has been established within the 1000BASE-T standard which brings the auto establishment of the link in case the auto-negotiation does not occur. With the help of the auto-MDIX, there is no need to e worried whether they use the straight cable or cross over because it can determine automatically the type of the cable and it is the main purpose of its development.
A question has been arising related to the auto-MDIX in the elective exams which is:
What is auto-MDIX?
Answer: The Auto-MDIX is a character which implements on the Cisco switch which helps for the detection and allows the usage of any type of cable connects to the port. so option 4 is the correct answer.
