Another device you may come across is thehub. A hub serves the same general function as a switch, but it is far less efficient. Hubs flood all ports and the network with data packets, while switches send packets only to the port that needs to act on the data. Back in the day...
Routers and Switches and Hubs, Oh My! An Introduction to Network Devices and Their FunctionsSean Wilkins
Unmanaged network switches are the most common. These network devices enable the device to be plugged in and start with no intervention or set-up. Managed switches require setting up and this allows traffic etc to be prioritised. In this way certain functions etc can be given priority so that...
4. Unlike switches or routers, hubs do not require any complex configuration or management, which simplifies network maintenance for non-technical users. 5. Hubs broadcast data to all connected devices, ensuring that all devices receive the same information at once, which can be useful in specific...
Hubs are still popular devices for small networks because of their low cost, but attention should be paid to potential problems with using hubs for network monitoring. First, hubs are open to unauthorized monitoring from within the LAN segment, as any port can be used for promiscuous mode monit...

The combination of hubs and switches resulted to anew type of internetworking device: the hub/switch which is based on a chassis holding two types of slot-in devices. The key to the operation of the hub/switch is a nonblocking gigabit switching bus that allows the device to send traffic ...
connect and visualize their data, introduces N-Tron® Series NT5000 Gigabit Managed Layer 2 Ethernet switches. As industries around the world digitally transform and optimize their operations, reliable and secure network access is absolutely critical. NT5000 switches and their gigabit speed are design...
Creating a LAN. Hubs used to be recommended for this because they were cheaper than switches, but switches are far superior as they minimize the traffic on a network, decrease bandwidth usage, and only send data to the intended computers. For instance, Computer A wants to send data to Compu...
