Detailed explanation-1: -Media Independent Interface (MDI) and Media Independent Interface with Crossover (MDIX) are basically ports on a computer and a network switch, router, or hub, respectively. You can connect to them with the help of RJ-45 connectors and a fiber optic or a twisted pair copper cable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Auto MDI-X (aka “auto crossover") automatically detects the required cable connection type and configures the connection appropriately, removing the need for crossover cables to interconnect switches or connect PCs peer-to-peer. As long as it is enabled on either end of a link, either type of cable can be used.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, end stations like PCs or workstations use an MDI interface, whereas hubs and network switches use MDIX interfaces.
