Hello,
I am heading off to a lan in a week or so and was wondering if i could connect my gigax1008 switch to another gigax1008 switch using either a straight ethernet cable or crossover to allow for more connections, can this be done?
Are there any implications to watch for, should it just work first time? I have not fiddled at all with the switches, firmware etc.....
The specs for the switch mentions that it has "Auto MDI/MDIX detects for straight or cross-over cabling"
Heres the link to tthe switch

Here is a diagram of what i mean
