QuestionQ4

Campus and Branch LAN Design

You want to use standard cabling rather than crossover cabling in an environment without MDIX.

In which two situations would this apply?

Choose two
  • A server-to-switch
  • B computer-to-switch
  • C computer-to-computer
  • D switch-to-switch
Explanation

Without MDIX, a straight-through Ethernet cable connects unlike interface types: an MDI endpoint such as a computer or server to an MDIX switch port. Like interface types require crossover cabling. Cisco’s cabling guidance lists switch-to-computer/server connections as straight-through and switch-to-switch connections as crossover.
