When is the uplink connection used on a switch?

Uplink connections are typically used to connect the switch to a higher level switch, that is more powerful and closer to the backbone.On basic switch models, the regular ports are MDIX ports, meant to connect directly to a PC. The Uplink port is then an MDI port, which can connect (with a straight cable) to an MDIX port on a different switch. Often the highest numbered port (8, 16, or 24 for instance) has one MDIX port in the regular set and an MDI uplink next to it, but you can only use one of these two.You can use a crossover cable to connect MDIX to MDIX or MDI to MDI port.On more modern switches, ports are often MDI/MDIX autosensing and this reason for existence of uplink ports has passed (all Gigabit Ethernet has this, and many 100 Mbit Ethernet).In the mean time, however, switch models have come into being which have faster speed uplink ports. For instance, 10 Mbit switches with 1 or 2 100 Mbit ports to connect to the core network, or these days 100 Mbit switches with a few Gigabit ports.

What is the number in Roman numeral MDIX?

M is a thousand and D is 500. An X is ten and an I is one. So this would be 1509.


How would you write 1509 in roman numerals?

In todays terms: 1509 = MDIX but the ancient Romans would have worked it out quite differently


Why we cannot connect two PC using straight cable?

actually, we can connect two PCs using straight cable. you can use patch panel (which works as adapter for straight to cross-over cable) or you can use LAN card that supports auto MDIX technology (invented by Hewlett Packard). With auto MDIX any straight cable will work just like any cross-over. further information about auto MDIX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-MDIX


Can two PCs be connected with a straight through cable instead of a crossover cable?

As long as the PC's were built within the past few years, then it is possible to use a straight through cable instead of a crossover cable. This is possible due to a feature named Auto-MDIX (Medium Dependant Interface Crossover). In the past, a crossover cable was required to connect two devices of the same type. e.g. a router to another router or a PC to another PC. A straight through cable was required to connect two devices of different types. e.g. a router to a PC. Auto-MDIX is a feature on the majority of new network devices. If you plug the wrong cable type into a Auto-MDIX enabled device, the device will reconfigure itself to allow connections to work properly.


How can two switches be connected?

Traditionally, two switches can be connected together with a crossover cable. A crossover cable should be used whenever two of the same network devices need to be connected together. e.g. Connecting a router to another router, a switch to another switch or a PC to another PC. Using a crossover cable is not always necessary however. Most new network devices include a feature named Auto-MDIX (Medium Dependant Interface Crossover). Auto-MDIX detects what type of cable is connected and automatically changes its own configuration to enable data transmission to the other device. i.e. It does not matter if you use a straight through cable or crossover cable on Auto-MDIX enabled devices. Both will work.
