Few basic questions

Hi Guys,

I've had a chat with The Bishop about this, and we thought we would test this out rather than just "guess" the answer. So, here are the results from the UK Jury.

1) A basic port on a hub is configured as midx.

2) If you have a standard Hub port plugged into a hub port set to Mdi using a Straight through cable, everything works.

3) If you use a standard hub port plugged into a hub port set to Mdi, using a cross-over lead, it doesn't work.

4) If you use a standard hub port plugged into a hub port using a cross-over lead BUT set it to mdix, it works.

If that seemed a bit confusing, don't worry. To make it simple, both options work. So votes for the book, nil points, votes for real life, 10 points.

Cheers

Rockape

Thanks for clearing this up, I wonder what the writters of the book/test had been thinking
