Re: cables on 3560

["Chris Atkins" <chris_atkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
You Can,
Please see below.
You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to 
enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) 
feature. When the Auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the 
required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the 
interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a 
straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 
1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device 
on the other end of the connection.

The Auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default on switches running Cisco IOS 
Release 12.2(18)SE or later. For releases between Cisco IOS Release 
12.1(14)EA1 and 12.2(18)SE, the Auto-MDIX feature is disabled by default. 
For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software 
configuration guide or the switch command reference.


Regards

Chris
