Re: Mixing Switches and Hubs

One thing to watch for, is devices (printers, mostly) which by default have Appletalk, Netware, Vines, NetBIOS, etc. turned on, some of these are very chatty protocols which will generate a lot of broadcasts even if no computer is using them.

A Netware enabled printer will issue SAP packets forever, hoping to find a print server to attach to. »docsrv.sco.com/SDK_netware/SAP_P···ure.html

I would turn off all protocols no one is using, and see if the broadcasts diminish.
