• When a crossover cable is used, set the interface to operate in the same MDI mode as its peer, or
set either end to operate in auto mode.
To set the MDI mode of an Ethernet interface:

mdi { across | auto | normal }
By default, a copper Ethernet
interface operates in auto mode to
negotiate pin roles with its peer.

1077BConfiguring an Ethernet interface to operate in promiscuous mode
An Ethernet interface usually receives only packets with matched destination MAC addresses. After you
configure an Ethernet interface to operate in promiscuous mode, however, the interface no longer checks
the MAC addresses in received packets. Rather, it receives all Ethernet packets with correct format. You
might need to configure a network listening port to operate in promiscuous mode.
