Or create a custom cable, that on the end to the switch is a ordinary
cable, but takes RX and TX pair into 2 different connectors, that goes
to 2 different ports on your 4000, say Ethernet0 is the recieve, and
Ethernet1 is the transmit
interface Ethernet0
ip address X.X.X.X Y.Y.Y.Y
transmit-interface Ethernet1
no shutdown
!
interface Ethernet1
no shutdown
! mac-address H.H.H
You may have to manually set Ethernet1's MAC address to the same as
Ethernet0.
Note, I havn't tried this, but I cannot see why it shouldn't work.
If you try this, please tell the result - or I might just try it out
myself ...
