what are the similarities between network switch and a hub
A crossover cable is used to connect a Hub or Switch to another Hub or Switch - or a PC to another PC.
Port in hub/switch refers to the interface where you connect your computers.
it is a switch in hubs
Hubs and Switches make 1 ethernet connection out of as many is on the hub or switch.

I suggest a hub as they are more reliable.
Most of the time, a switch will send information only to the destination, while a hub will send to all of its ports. That makes the hub inefficient - in a hub, only one computer can transmit at a time.Most of the time, a switch will send information only to the destination, while a hub will send to all of its ports.

It's very easy to add a switch to a hub. For consumer level switches, you just plug it in.

It depends on the number of clients in the LAN segment, but in general a switch is more efficient than a hub.
Yes. The switch is acting as a "hub" between the various clients on the network.
