How would I segment my hubs so that each user group gets better bandwidth? What is an HP 10Base-T Switching Hub, Management Module and Switch Module?
» Return to top Q: What is an HP 10Base-T Switching Hub, Management Module and Switch Module? A 10Base-T Switching Hub is a Ethernet hub with a migration path for growth. It can be used in the same manner as any typical 10Base-T (Ethernet) hub. The migration path is provided in the form of two modules: The Management Module (HP J3210A) and the Switch Module (HP J3212A). When both modules are inserted into a stack of 10Base-T Switching Hubs, the stack automatically segments all of the ports into four collision domains. The Switch Module then connects the four segments together and provides 4 external ports for direct server/printer connections. » Return to top Q: What is Port Switching, and why would I want to use it? Port Switching is the ability to move ports from one segment to another through software rather than physically moving cables from one hub to another. If the network becomes congested and network performance suffers, the Management Module, coupled with Advancestack Assista
