What happens if two switches are connected with a crossover cable?

Question

Computer networks

So what happens if two switches are connected to each other with a crossover cable?

Answer 1

I understand that the question arose during the study of CCENT / CCNA?
In this case, "according to the book" devices can be divided into two categories. The first will be computers and routers. In the second - switches and hubs (traditions of antiquity deep). When connecting devices of the same category , use a crossover cable. When connecting devices from different categories - straight-through .
Now about how this relates to the reality given to us in sensations. Modern devices tend to support Auto-MDI/MDI-X, ie. auto-detection of the transceiver operating mode. That is, in life, these devices can be connected to any of the above two types of cables.

Answer 2

The link will either not rise, or the switch itself will straighten the cable. Depends on the age of the model.
