In this example a Express 410T switch serves as the backbone for a small
network. The MDI/MDI-X button allows the Express 410T switch to
connect to other switches and hubs using straight-through cables (instead of
crossover cables). All ports on the switch are MDI-X, and the button is used
to toggle port 1 to MDI.
