Hi,

Does it exist devices with several ethernet input LAN sockets and one output
socket which enables me to select by software commands which input port to
connect to the output? (Some kind of KVM switch but for ethernet).

At least 100 Mbps (CAT5 cable) compatible.

Thanks for hints on where I can purchase such devices.

regards

A managed switch that can do VLANs? Change around the VLAN config via
whatever management interface it has (web, CLI, SNMP) when you want it
to change.

So, what are you really trying to do?
I'm not sure that this really makes much sense network-wise. I am not
aware of any device to do such a thing.

If you put several NICs in your machine you can write scripts to turn
then on and off, as needed.

In WIndows w2k and XP and up the command is netsh. On *nix it's the
ifconfig command. Both can be used with the scripting language or GUI
control app of your choice.

There are PCI cards with as many as 4 RJ45 plugs/NIC interfaces per card.
