Answer: Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX)

Step-by-step explanation:

The technology that is typically implemented on switches to avoid Ethernet connectivity problems is Medium Dependent Interface Crossover(MDIX) For switches with Auto (MDIX) the connection is configured automatically and a crossover or straight-through cable can be used to connect two switches. When this MDIX interface is connected it corrects the connectivity speed and the cabling for proper device functionality.
