Most computers today consist of many processors. Most business computers are connected via hub/switch/access point. Most broadband home users are connected to an access point, only fraction of current home computers use a hub/switch.
Port in hub/switch refers to the interface where you connect your computers.
two computers connected to the same hub AND two computers connected to the same access server
A network is a collection of computers connected with each other. Two or more computers can be connected to form a network. A HUB is used a central point for all the connections of a network. Normally, we use twisted pair cables in LAN and if we are using the star topology of LAN then we use HUB. Every computer is connected to HUB with a separate cable and then the HUB is connected to Server if the LAN is based on a Domain structure. A domain is such a network in which all the communication is done by a central computer, called server. But if we have a workgroup where there is no central computer all the computers are connected with HUB and there is no uplink to server.HUB is not intelligent device so it does not examine the network traffic. Collisionoccurs when there is high traffic on the network. In Local Area Network (LAN)HUB is available in different number of port. 8 port, 16 ports or 24 ports. One port is used to connect one computer. If our network consists of 30 computers and we have 16 ports HUB then we have to use two HUBS to form the network.Now a days, switches are also used to replace HUB. HUB send data to whole network and the destination picks up the desired data where the switch sends data directly to the destination.Ads by Google
Your statement is True. Most computers are connected by a network device such as a hub switch and access point. Access Point is the most popular way now due to the easy configuration settings.
Yes, most computer networks consist of many computers that are usually connected by a networking device such as a hub, switch or access point. This type of a network is called a LAN.
Powerdsine 12 Port Power Over Ethernet Hub is reasonable priced and is capable of connecting to 12 different computers, the next alternative is the HP 12 Port FiberChannel Hub which can also connect 12 machines, just not over ethernet.
Its LAN
Yes. A hub will be one giant collision domain for that entire switch port. So if its an 8 port hub and you have 8 devices connected to it that collision domain will have 8 devices in it.
I don't think it has to be anymore than 2, but it can be quite a few. The problem with a hub say for a computer like a usb hub is that each device receives less power and they are all sharing the same port, its like hooking 5 computers to one modem.
It allows access to all four computers at once.
In regards to the average usb port hub and how many ports are available, this can vary. The average usb port hub can support up to four usb inputs at a time.
