Re: Mixing Switches and Hubs

Switches maintain the MAC addresses of devices downstream of each port and only send packets out ports with devices that match the MAC address.

When a switch receives a packet from a hub, it is no different than when it receives it from a PC. It looks to see where it needs to go and sends it there.
