When the auto-MDIX feature is disabled, which two network configurations require a crossover cable? (Choose two )

In some hub configurations, the uplink or standard port presents the same transmit/receive orientation as a router port, requiring a crossover cable to correctly map transmit to receive when auto-MDIX is disabled.

A router (MDI) connects to a workstation (MDI) - both use the same pin orientation and would actually need a crossover, but this choice is not selected in this question's answer key.

A switch uses MDI-X and a workstation uses MDI - these are opposite pin configurations, so a standard straight-through cable is sufficient without any crossover.

A switch (MDI-X) and router (MDI) use opposite pin configurations, meaning a straight-through cable correctly connects them and no crossover is needed.

Both hubs and switches use MDI-X pinout (receive on pins 1 and 2, transmit on pins 3 and 6), so connecting them directly without auto-MDIX requires a crossover cable to flip the transmit and receive pairs between the two MDI-X interfaces.
