A systems administrator has two network switches that need to be cabled together via copper cabling. Neither of the switches support MDIX. Which of the following types of cables should the administrator use?
It was on my exam (April 25th, 2024)
A 'crossover cable' is a type of Ethernet cable that has two ends with reversed wiring. This means that the transmit pins on one end are connected to the receive pins on the other end. This type of cable is used to directly connect two similar devices, such as two switches, without the need for a hub or a router.
Crossover cables are used to connect two devices of the same type, such as switch-to-switch or computer-to-computer, without needing a hub or switch in between. Since the switches in this scenario do not support MDIX, which automatically adjusts for crossover requirements, a crossover cable is necessary to ensure proper communication between the two switches.
