What are the differences between a hub and a switch? (Select 3)
A hub broadcasts all packets to all ports.
A switch examines the packet frame, and if it doesn't have an associated hardware address, floods the packet out all ports except the one that it came in from.
There is no real difference, it's just terminology.
A hub sends packets through only 1 port and can be configured for traffic control.
A switch examines the packet, and broadcasts all packets.
A switch examines the packet frame, and if it has an associated hardware address, sends the packet out only one port.
A hub is a "dumb" device that operates on an electrical level without any software to speak of. A switch is a "smart device" and can inspect packets to ensure they are only sent where they need to go as well as perform some traffic limiting.
