| 120313 | 2003-02-11 18:32:00 | A revised setup (sal.neoburn.net) Will this one work (each computer is on a separate port on the hubs)? Do you use crossover between the hubs and the switch? Would that even work? And can I dump the SmoothWall computer and just use the DNS/DHCP server features on RedHat? Also, do hubs only support a certain speed, because I don't want one of the hubs only allowing 10MB/s when the switch can take 100MB/s, thereby slowing down all the computers connected to that hub. |

| 120314 | 2003-02-12 20:35:00 | If you have Crossover ports on your Hub/Switch then plug 1 end of the cable into the standard port & the other into the X-Over port (Usually the last port on the hub/switch) Most Switches are sutosensing for 10/100MB so it won't matter. If you have a 10MB hub then that is all you're going to get. It will also only send data out to the Switch at 10MB/s as well. Plug slower PC's/NIC's into the hub & the faster ones into the Switch. If you want, you can use a crossover cable from the hub to the switch on normal ports. Make sense? |
