I keep mixing up straight-through and crossover cables. I hope I remember the right one for this scenario!

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the answer is crossover because of the pin configuration mentioned.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about straight-through cables being used for different devices.

I think we need a crossover cable here since we're connecting a router to a switch without auto MDi-X.

Okay, let me think this through. If auto-MDIX is not available, then we need to manually configure the connection. Given the pin configuration, a crossover cable would be the right choice to connect the router and switch.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the pin configuration, but I'm not sure how that relates to the cable type. I'll need to review my notes on Ethernet cabling before answering this.

I think this is a straightforward question. Since the pins 1 and 2 are receivers and pins 3 and 6 are transmitters, and auto-MDIX is not available, the correct cable type to use is a crossover cable.
JE

I'm confident that the answer is crossover cable. The pin configuration described in the question means we need to use a crossover cable to properly connect the router and switch when auto-MDIX is not available.
