Port Status and Configuration
Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters
ProCurve Auto-MDIX was developed for auto-negotiating devices, and was
shared with the IEEE for the development of the IEEE 802.3ab standard.
ProCurve Auto-MDIX and the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/MID-X feature are
completely compatible. Additionally, ProCurve Auto-MDIX supports opera-
tion in forced speed and duplex modes.
If you want more information on this subject please refer to the IEEE 802.3ab
Standard Reference.
For more information on MDI-X, refer to the appendix titled “Switch Ports and
Network Cables in the Installation and Getting Started Guide for your
switch.
Manual Override. If you require control over the MDI/MDI-X feature you can
set the switch to either of two non-default modes:
Manual MDI
Manual MDI-X

connecting to either a PC or other MDI device with a crossover
cable, or to a switch, hub, or other MDI-X device with a straight-
through cable.
