At their most basic, all three are examples of networking devices. As for the differences and reasons why each one exists, we'll have to dive a bit deeper. 1. Hub A hub connects multiple computers together in a Local Area Network (LAN). All information sent to the hub is then sent t...
In the context of networking, a switch is a device that connects devices together in a computer network, enabling them to communicate with each other by exchanging data packets. A switch operates at the data link layer of the OSI model. With a switch, it's possible for wired network device...
Mitsubishi Electric Automation announces the iQ-R Series CC-Link IE TSN Plus module which supports CC-Link IE TSN and EtherNet/IP networks in one module. CC-Link IE TSN is an open industrial network technology that combines gigabit Ethernet bandwidth with Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) allowing...
Hewlett-Packard has reduced prices on several of its ProCurve 10/100 switches and hubs. The price for the 8000M switch dropped by half, from $3,999 to $1,999, while the 1600M switch price fell $800 to $1,599. HP slashed the price of the ProCurve 10/100 Hub 24 by about 19 perce...
Recalling basic networking: A switch collision domain is only port to port because each switch port and its associated end device is its own collision domain. Because there is no contention on the media, all hosts can operate in full-duplex mode, which means that they can receive an...
TP-Link has come a long way from its early days, now going head to head with the popular SMB-level hardware manufacturers and it has also had frequent incursions in the enterprise-level networking market. I am not going to talk about some managed switch with 10GbE PoE++ ports, but I ...
The interface automatically operates at half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on environmental factors, such as the type of media and the transmission speeds for the peer routers, hubs, and switches used in the network configuration. The autoneg keyword...
Recalling basic networking: A switch collision domain is only port to port because each switch port and its associated end device is its own collision domain. Because there is no contention on the media, all hosts can operate in full-duplex mode, which means that they can receive and transmit...
These definitions are necessary in order to help clarify some well-used terms in Catalyst networking: q The management VLAN is where sc0 resides for CatOS and low-end switches. You can change this VLAN. Bear this in mind when you are interworking both CatOS and Cisco IOS switches. q The ...
Switching to the I/O rich RK3588 processor allowed Orange Pi to add two 2.5GbE networking interfaces, support for NVMe SSD storage up to 2,000 MB/s, up to four display interfaces with two HDMI 2.1 ports, MIPI DSI and USB-C with DisplayPort Alt. mod...
