What else can I help you with?
Can an 8 port switch be added to an existing 8 port switch?
Yes
Can I connect a Cisco catalyst 2950 switch to a hub?
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.
What is the difference between a 4-Port Ethernet and 8-Port Erthernet switch in wireless routers?
The 4 port switch will only connect 4 hard wired (not wireless) computers, whereas the 8 port will connect 8.Note that the amount of wirelessly connected devices supported will be the same, which is unlimited, or until the device blows up.
Why would someone use a 8 port gigabit switch?
Someone would use a 8 port gigabit switch to increase the router speed and to conserve energy and save desktop save. As it has 8 ports one can also connect a console and media player.
What are the top rated companies that manufacture 8 port switches?
There are a few top-rated companies that manufacture 8 port switches. Some top rated 8 port switch manufacturers include NetGear, Cisco, Linksys, and Monoprice.
What is Omni Port?
It's a type of port in a Convergent Switch that's capable of working as a 10Gb Ethernet por or a 4/8 Gb Fibre Channel Port as well.
Which is more efficient for networking traffic a switch or a hub Why?
A switch. Each port has a separate path to each of the other ports on the switch. On a hub, all the ports are tied together into 1 single port. Think of a switch as an 4 lane freeway with 8 entrances and exits; a hub is a one lane highway with the same 8 entrances and exits. It can pass data from only one port to another port- switch can connect 4 ports to the other 4 ports (or 8 to 8 or 16 to 16, you get the idea) A switch is quite a bit more complicated AND is generally more expensive: between 20% and 300% more than a hub with the same number of ports BUT it's very useful on a busy network (business especially.)
When refering to a hub or switch what is a port?
Port in hub/switch refers to the interface where you connect your computers.
When we say 100 Mbps unmanaged switch does 100 Mbps specify the capacity of the entire switch or individual port?
This refers to the speed of each port. Combined, an 8-port switch will have a capacity of 1.6Gbps (100Mbps inbound and outbound per port), for example. The switching fabric is said to have this combined capacity.
What is the purpose of configuring a switch port as a trunk port?
The idea of configuring a switch port as a trunk port is to allow the switch to receive and send data from several VLANs on a single port. Otherwise, a separate port would be required for every VLAN, if, for example, you want to connect two switches among themselves.The idea of configuring a switch port as a trunk port is to allow the switch to receive and send data from several VLANs on a single port.

What switch port modes will allow a switch to successfully form a trunking link if the neighboring switch port is in dynamic desirable mode?
since the first desire of desirable mode is to trunk,so the switch port mode will be trunking since the first desire of desirable mode is to trunk,so the switch port mode will be trunking
What is the purpose of issuing the command switch-port mode access on a switch interface?
force the port to be a part of a single vlan
