There is right now on eBay two 3C250's for $19.95 (for both),
plus $39.95 shipping. The shipping is a little high, but they
are a little heavy. Those are real 100baseTX 24 port
rack-mountrepeaters, maybe even class I.

If you buy a used box made by Cisco/3Com/HP you can trust that if it
says it's a hub, it's a hub.
before buying you should get the model # and grap the manual from the
manufacturer's web site and read up to make sure you know what youi
are buying. I wouldn't trust a seller to describe the item correctly.
HP has a lifetime warranty on some of it's gear. Hard to go wrong.

As far as I know, they are all hubs, some repeaters and some
bridge/switch (two different words for the same thing).
Since the original hubs were repeaters, they got associated with the
word hub, but hub is supposed to describe the wiring topology, not the
electrical characteristics of the box. (There are also coaxial
repeaters and AUI repeaters, neither of which are usually called hubs.)

Your switch is configurable? Can't you configure all ports into
promiscuous mode? |
