The problem may arise is the termination of the cable is wrong.

Explanation:

When we set up a new connection in the organization the cable plays an important role in it. In this question we have to create the new network, the professional is using the straight-through Cat6 for linking in the switching The switches do not support the Auto Mdix as it supports only full-duplex, so we have to check the Cabling.

The incorrect Cable termination problem will not support the Auto Mdix Sometimes the Auto Mdix problem is arising because of the wrongful termination of the cable we have to check the connection of power cabling for the effective use.
