システム管理者は 2 つのネットワーク スイッチを持っており、これらを銅線ケーブルで接続する必要があります。どちらのスイッチも MDIX をサポートしていません。管理者は次のタイプのケーブルのうちどれを使用する必要がありますか?
正解:B
Since neither of the switches supports MDIX, the systems administrator should use a Crossover cable to connect the two network switches via copper cabling. Here's why:
Straight cable (Option A) is used to connect different types of devices (e.g., switch to computer) and not switches to switches.
Crossover cable (Option B) is specifically designed for connecting similar devices (e.g., switch to switch, switch to hub) without MDIX support.
Patch cable (Option C) is a general term for Ethernet cables and doesn't specify whether it's straight or crossover.
Rollover cable (Option D) is used for console connections to network devices (e.g., connecting to a router or switch console port).
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Crossover
