[NTLUG:Discuss] Ethernet Switches

[Jack Snodgrass]

I think.... but I'm not 100% certain.... if it says that
it is capable of doing 'Full Duplex' on each port or
something about 200 Mhz throughput ( 100Mhz in each
direction at the same time ) then it is a 'switch' and
not just a hub.

> I remember someone posting a warning about purchasing a switch.  It had
something to do with the brand labeling their product as a "switch" when
indeed it was an ordinary 10/100 hub.  If that same person is reading this,
could you repost what it was that one should look for on the box to
determine that it is a true switch and not just a hub?
