Just to be precise, it's called: medium dependent interface, not media ... So 1) MDI - medium dependent interface (straight) 2) MDIX - medium dependent interface (crossed) 3)AMDIX - medium dependent interface (auto straight or crossed)

D. MDIX (Media Dependent Interface Crossover) would address this issue by allowing the use of the original cable for connecting switches. MDIX automatically detects and compensates for cable crossover, eliminating the need for a crossover cable.
