Does this work like a hub? All network traffic replicated out each port?

Yes it does work as a hub. I run my DSL modem to the switch which gives me 4 Ethernet ports out. One of those ports I run to my centralized WiFi and the others to my desktop, dish controller, printer, etc. On my WiFi I then use the Ethernet ports to my tv's. Hope that helps and by the way it works great and is a inexpensive way to expand your system.

Yes, I tagged it to a computer I had linked to my fast modem. I had already filled one switch so this gave me five more outlets . Works great ! Useful if you outgrow your initial switch and need to tag onto it . An additional bonus was that I bought it from Amazon warehouse for a fraction of a new price.

It is a very good switch, traffic runs very well through it. I used it until I outgrew it.

It should not replicate traffic out of each port. Ideally a switch (as opposed to a hub) will isolate each connection and prevent cross-talk and collisions. This does mean a switch has to be an active device (draws power) to perform the switching, while a hub can be as simple as a jumble of wires.

It has a port forwarding configuration, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I haven't tried all that hard, though.

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

Yes, I have it running under a mixed environment and it is working well. It is acting as a access point and Macs and PC connect through it.

This is a commercial grade device. Fully managed remotely, each port, total traffic, etc.Well worth the money if you install equipment off-site and need to manage, reboot singleports, devices.

No, this is not a network drive. You can use one interface with one computer at a time, thank you

Yes, It works perfectly as Access Point, it support more clients and give most speed

To do this with hardware, you need a switch that can do "port mirroring", which you probably won't find for cheap. You could also do the gateway trick omer suggested, which is of course free, but then if your PC goes down, so does your network.

One of the ports will go through to the router, but the other will not. It requires one on each end of the connections to support two separate connections (in this case, one at the router and one at the computers).

The owners that state the purpose of the additional port is for load balancing and fail-over are correct. Connecting the ports to separate networks is not a function of the product.

Port 2 is not mirrored, but it will send BPDUs from port 1 to port 5.note, Don't expect to drive this line rate, I put it in-line and found it to drop packets on the bearer path (not even to the mirror port)

Yes. You can have two WAN running simultaneous with auto load balancing. It's extremely easy to set up too. Get this device! Trust me.

I believe all 4 ports work at once. The reason I say that is: My card always tries to enumerate all 4, and, because only the 2 eSATA are in use, I get a 30 second delay every boot.

I have not had any problem using multiple ports at the same time doing different tasks.

Yes it can but you have to configure it to do so. look up "port forwarding" Cheers

This is an "unmanaged" switch so each desktop you wire into this switch will each get their own fair share of the upstream bandwidth depending on what each Desktop is doing. To do Quality of Service (QoS) which is what you are asking about you'll need a more advanced "managed" switch (or router/switch) that costs quite a bit more money and allows you to limit a given port's bandwidth.

Yes it is software programable for each port through GUI or software included. Off/24/48 options.
