RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): (24) 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ports for
10Base-T or 100Base-TX device connections.
MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) ports are also called "uplink ports”.
The MDI ports do not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the
regular ports (MDI-X ports) that connect to end stations. MDI means
connecting to another Hub or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a
workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect
to another Switch or workstation with either crossover or non-crossover
cabling.
