[c-nsp] WS-X6748-GE-TE and MDI-X in IOS?

[Frank Bulk]

Yes, works here.  One caveat not stated my any others: if you specify either
the speed or duplex setting MDI-X is lost.  We had to buy some cross-over
cables for some older gear that requires 10/full because that auto-sensing
capability was gone.

Hi,

Does anybody know if the WS-X6748-GE-TX does MDI-X autosensing when
running native IOS on Sup720?

I can't seem to find anything decisive about the WS-X6748-GE-TX and IOS,
but I can find references to CatOS/WS-X6748-GE-TX and MDIX and to the
WS-X6548-RJ-45.

Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Guide
"The WS-X6548-RJ-45 module is auto-MDI/MDIX capable;"

Catalyst 6500 Series Command Reference, 8.6
"With software release 8.2(1), auto-MDIX is also enabled on the
following modules:


.WS-X6748-GE-TX, Supervisor Engine 720 port 2 (RJ-45)"

reference/set_m_pi.html#wp1045648

The first page has info on the WS-X6748-GE-TX, but doesn't mention MDI-X
near the module information.

I don't have any spare WS-X6748-GE-TX right now, so I can't test it
other than in production. (Which I will have to do if nobody
knows... :-)

Thanks,
Peter
