Switches provide each computer with the full network bandwidth when routing packets, where a hub splits the bandwidth of the network across all the ports it has.
there are three types of hub which are following: 1. Active Hub. 2. Passive Hub 3. Hybrid Hub
Passive hubs- do not amplify the electrical signal of incoming packets before broadcasting them out to the network.
A Passive Hub is just a connector. It connects the wires coming from different hubs. An active hub acts as a multiport repeater. Passive hub will not regenerate the signal but active hub will regenerate the signal ....... so active hub is better.
function as a repeater
a switch
a passive hub does not regenerate the signal received only let it pass
There are no layer 1 switches; switches run at layer 2 or 3. A hub is a layer 1 device.
in star topology , the central hub is called...... (i) active hub (ii) passive hub (iii) inactive hub (iv) live hub
Hubs and Switches make 1 ethernet connection out of as many is on the hub or switch.
