What is difference between hub and switch in computer?
a hub is a central point in a network through which all the wires pass, a switch connects more than 2 LAN networks
Different between star networks and interconnected star?
Fiber optic interconnected star has its known destination. Star networks require more wire it features a hub, switch or router lending to several different connections.
This device serves as a gateway between two subnets It sends and receives packets between networks?
I believe it's a router. I have this question on a test the choices are. router, hub, layer 2 switch or firewall. I answered layer 2 switch. It was wrong.
Is it true that Most computer networks consist of many computers and are usually connected by a networking device such as a hub switch or access point?
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.
True or false most Ethernet networks are based on the star topology?
True. At the center of the star is a hub, or a switch.
What is the main difference between a router and a 12port hub?
A router allows communication between two different networks. A hub just links devices in a network.
Is a hub a combination of software and hardware that links two different types of networks?
No. A hub is hardware that connects different devices within a single network. You probably are thinking of a switch or router.
In a network could you just work with a switch and never touch a hub or a bridge?
Yes. The switch is acting as a "hub" between the various clients on the network.
What connecting device do you use for a small LAN for two or more connected networks?
For a small LAN network, a switch is best. To connect two or more LAN networks, a router is required. (2) From Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ sixth edition (page #852): You can use a crossover cable to connect to computers without a switch or hub making it the simplest network of all. For two or more you will need a switch, hub, or router.
How can you connect two different networks without using routers?
Either through the use of switch, hub, or an access point for wireless communications.
What cable is used between a switch and a hub?
You would have to be a little more specific.
What is the difference between a hub and a switch?
A hub is a multiport repeater of broadcast information (it receives on any port) to all ports hence is called non-intelligent or dumb. A hub repeats a message to all the nodes connected to its ports.Hubs translate any signal from one PC to all others in the same network. Switches translate from one PC only to a certain PC, not to all of them as is the case with hubs.HUB works on Physical layer whereas SWITCH works on data link layer, HUB based networks are on one collision domain, whereas in Switch-based networks, a switch divides networks into multiple collision domains. Switch also maintains MAC address tables.A Simple SimileHub - Think of a postman with a letter to deliver in a row of houses, none of the houses have numbers so he has to visit each house and ask the owner if the letter is for them.Switch - All the houses are numbered, so the postman knows where to go, and doesn't have to bother any other homeowners.That is the reason a HUB is called a Dumb Device (or Dumb Postman).
