HP Auto-MDIX is a feature on all 10/100Base-TX ports of the ProCurve Networking by HP Series 2300 and 2500 switches. When configured in the default configuration “AUTO”, the switch automatically detects the signaling on the cable from the connected device and operates as either an MDI or MDIX port. As a result, a “straight-through” twisted-pair cable can be used; you no longer have to use “crossover” cables, although “crossover” cables can also be used for any of the connections.
