Solution
The auto-MDIX (Automatic Medium-Dependent Interface Crossover) feature on a switch is the automatic configuration of an interface for a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable connection. This feature detects the type of connection required and automatically configures the interface for this type of connection. If you are connecting switches without a crossover cable, or connecting PCs without a crossover cable, the auto-MDIX feature will detect the lack of crossover and make the crossover "virtually" within the interface. This eliminates the need for crossover cables, making cables more interchangeable.

26A network administrator is connecting two modern switches using a straight-through cable. The switches are new and have never been configured. Which three statements are correct about the final result of the connection? (Choose three.)The duplex capability has to be manually configured because it cannot be negotiated.The auto-MDIX feature will configure the interfaces eliminating the need for a crossover cable.The connection will not be possible unless the administrator changes the cable to a crossover cable.The link between switches will work as full-duplex.The link between the switches will work at the fastest speed that is supported by both switches.If both switches support different speeds, they will each work at their own fastest speed.

Los switches son nuevos y nunca se configuraron. ¿Cuáles son las tres afirmaciones correctas sobre el resultado final de la conexión? (Elija tres).El enlace entre los switches funcionará como full-duplex.El enlace entre los switches funcionará a la máxima velocidad que admitan ambos switches.La característica MDIX automática configurará las interfaces, por lo que no se necesita un cable de conexión cruzada.La capacidad dúplex se debe configurar manualmente porque no puede negociarse.Si ambos switches admiten velocidades diferentes, cada switch funcionará a su propia velocidad máxima.La conexión no será posible a menos que el administrador reemplace el cable por un cable de conexión cruzada.
