5 Ov ervie w of Hub Management Hubs themselves are rarely the cause of problems on the network. However, since hubs are the center point for many devices on the network, it’s a good place to start looking for problems. There are four categories of management tasks: • Configuring the hub or stack of hubs. This includes setting the IP configurati[...]

6 Mana ging m ultiple hubs To manage multiple hubs, you must stack them using Intel Cascade Cables. 100 Mbps 100 Mbps 10 Mbps 10 Mbps Connecting hubs with Intel Cascade Cables allows you to manage both 10 and 100 Mbps hubs with a sin g le Mana g ement Module. Hub n umbering Once connected with Intel Cascade Cables, the Management Module numbers hub[...]
