How to properly daisy chain network switches? - Super User
Sep 9, 2019 · 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 …
Do Ethernet Switches have MAC Addresses? - Super User
Sep 7, 2024 · 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.

Feb 13, 2021 · Your computer is using your switch, but your VM's are using the virtual switches. They are Hyper-V devices and can generally be ignored as long as things are working right. the 172.16.0.0/12 addresses are private IP addressing space used by your VM system for various purposes and is used by default because although 172.16.0.0/12 is private IP space, but few device use that be default and ...
Crossover cable or straight through between multiple hubs/switches
Sep 12, 2018 · 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 ...
Gigabit Ethernet switch from 1Gbps to 100Mbps back and forth
Jul 7, 2016 · 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.
Will multiple switches slow transfer speed - Super User
Jan 18, 2013 · 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).
What happens if an unmanaged ethernet switch is looped …
What would happen, if anything at all, if I were to connect an unmanaged network switch to itself with a normal Ethernet cable? Scenario 1. If I had an 8-port unmanaged switch and I plug one end of an Ethernet cable into port 1 and the other end into port 2. This would be a consumer level switch, the kind available on Amazon for $20. Scenario 2
networking - When connecting two switches, should I use normal …
Mar 12, 2017 · I have two 48 port gigabit Netgear switches with 2 SFP ports each (I also have two Mini-GBIC copper transceiver modules) Is it best to set the ports up by using the built in ports (i.e. plug port 1 of switchB into port 48 of switchA and port1 of switchA into the router) or is there an advantage to using the Mini-GBIC?
ethernet - What happens to frame when it reaches a switch or …
Mar 2, 2017 · Ethernet switches are designed so that their operations are invisible to the devices on the network, which explains why this approach to linking networks is also called transparent bridging. “Transparent” means that when you connect a switch to an Ethernet system, no changes are made in the Ethernet frames that are bridged.
networking - Why do switches say 10/100/1000? - Super User
Feb 15, 2018 · 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). –
