Cat Express 500 Auto-MDIX

[shahedvoicerite]

I am trying to connect a Cat 500 Express to a 2950, using a stright-through cable.

If I enable auto-mdix on the Cat 500, I have to enable auto speed and duplex settings.

If I do this, I get a duplex mismatch.

Can i set the auto-mdix to work, without having to auto-negotiate the speed and duplex settings ?

On the 2950, the settings are 100/full

Thanks

MDIX is not related to duplex and speed. You should be able to set the MDIX auto and hard code the speed and duplex if you want.

BY default CE-500 is auti-mdix & u need not make any changes on duplex settingz. bcoz i never faced such problem by connecting my CE-500 to 2950, juz a straight cable connecting from CE-500 gigabit to 2950 gigabit. thatz it, i didn't get any duplux mismatch, try to check once again in 2950 that every thing is set auto(duplex & speed)
