How to properly daisy chain network switches? - Super User
2019年9月9日 · Now my question: I'd like all three network switches to be of the good and cheap variety. Something like the $15 TP-Link 5. Something like the $15 TP-Link 5. Unfortunately - through my limited research - it seems daisy chaining these type of network switches in series is a …
Crossover cable or straight through between multiple hubs/switches
2018年9月12日 · Ethernet hubs, however, do not have this feature. They do not participate in link negotiation and only electrically connect all the devices. (Although your devices are probably switches mislabelled as hubs, not actual hubs.) Without this feature, two hubs or switches (just like two computers) would have needed a cross-over cable. That is ...
Will multiple switches slow transfer speed - Super User
If Host_1 starts transmitting a full length Ethernet frame of 1542 bytes at 100Base-T with three store-and-forward switches in the path, then Host_200 receives the last byte about 492 microseconds later; that's an effective throughput of about 25 Mbps (compared to the actual wire speed of 100 Mbps).
networking - When connecting two switches, should I use normal …
2017年3月12日 · For short-distance links on a gigabit switch (where all ports are Gigabit) it makes, no, zip, zero, nada, (etc) difference if you use SFP ports or wired ports to interconnect switches. SFP ports are primarily for allowing fiber connections over …
Gigabit Ethernet switch from 1Gbps to 100Mbps back and forth
2016年7月7日 · My gigabit Ethernet speed switches from 1Gbps to 100Mbps frequently. This issue occurs usually, and there is no time pattern in switching between speeds. It switches by itself just like that. Sometimes, it sticks at 1Gbps for days and then switches to 100Mbps, and sometimes it just switches in a matter of hours. Same thing happens conversely.
Enabling Ethernet connections in my whole household?
2022年2月9日 · Switches generally come in two flavours- "dumb" and "smart", or more practically, managed and un-managed. Managed switches usually give you some sort of control panel that allows you to do things like disable and enable ports, change speeds and undertake more advanced configuration. Unmanaged switches are basically plug in and forget.
Do Ethernet Switches have MAC Addresses? - Super User
2024年9月7日 · The EthernetV2 blue book specification makes it pretty clear that when a vendor manufactures an ethernet device it must display a unique 48-bit MAC address label in a visible place, such as near the ether cable connection port. Examine your device and read the label. Do Ethernet switches have a device ID? How do I find out what it is? Yes.
networking - Why do switches say 10/100/1000? - Super User
2018年2月15日 · Nicely worded, I'd like to throw out that I have a WLC that is gigabit Ethernet, and only gigabit Ethernet. The switch I tried to use was 10/100. It took me a while to find out that the WLC only supported gigabit (both the switch and the WLC shows up/up on the interface). –
Daisy chaining APs or connect them into the central router?
2023年9月26日 · In the picture below there are two options. Both options are connected entirely by ethernet cable and the access points act as ethernet switches: In Option A, the modem (ISP), main router, and three APs are daisy-chained together. In Option B, the APs are each directly connected to the main router which is in turn connected to the ISP modem.
Will adding switch extend my ethernet cable? - Super User
2018年5月18日 · My internet guy just told me that CAT5 ethernet cable range is 100m. He stated that it does not make a difference if we connect switch in between like 50m cable, switch and another 50m. He said that the length accumulates. I think he is wrong about that. However, if I am right that switch can actually extend ethernet cable.
