Yes, the 3560 has Auto-MDIX capability where you can connect
straight-through or crossover cables and it will figure it out. If I were
the one designing the lab, I would put straight through cables on them.
Why? Because it's easy. :) AND, because if you try to hardcode speed or
duplex, it turns this feature off, so all of a sudden things may show up as
"NotConnected". That's more fun!

Subject: cables on 3560
Hi group,
Does anyone know about cable connections between two 3560s. I've heard that
you can connect straight cables on between 3560 and they will automatically
identify. Is it so?
