How do hubs segregate packets?
Hubs segregate packets because hubs are used as switches. Through a VLAN, hubs, when used as switches, can easily segregate incoming and outgoing traffic.
What are the purposes of switches and hubs?
Switches increase the number of collision domains in the network.
When is the appropriate time to replace hubs with switches?
As soon as possible. Switches are much more efficient than hubs because hubs send the data to all the connect nodes, unlike switches that only forward packets to the appropriate node. Hubs cause a lot of packet collisions which reduces the efficiency of your network. __________________ I was going to say "Now, because switches are so cheap". But your answer is better.
Where can I find a magazine about network hubs and switches?
There is no magazine that is specific to network hubs and switches. However, PC Magazine is a computer magazine available on newsstands and MozillaQuest (http://mozillaquest.com/index.html) is an online magazine that may include articles and other information on network hubs and switches.
What connects networks of the same type?
Switches, hubs...
Why it is easier to scan a network that is connected with Hubs rather than with Switches?
It is easier to scan a network connected by hubs than by switches because a switch can limit traffic between subnets, whereas a hub cannot, and would therefore require more overhead to facilitate a scan.
Which usually connects a LAN togeather?
hubs, switches or routers.
What distinguishes switches from repeating devices such as hubs?
layer 3 switches require ip address but hub do not require
A network backbone is the WHAT that connects the hubs switches and routers on a network?
cabling
Switches operate at layer and Hubs operate at layer of OSI model?
Hubs are a physical layer (layer 1) device; most switches operate at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.
Advantage of using switches rather than hubs?

Routers operate at layer LAN switches operate at layer Ethernet hubs operate at layer?
Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1.
