The rat nest that is the wiring closet in my office under the stairs. These switches service the two computer labs in one building and the blue router connects everybody to the internet.
Half of my Labs Core :D
Oh and a Token Ring Switch (well have to hold onto the past)

Netgear Lash is Great
This birch is great. Since my house is pre-wired for an ethernet network, within 5 minutes, I had all my rooms in my whole house on the network. Verizon hooked my FIOS internet router in my basement. Simply connected one port of the router to the network wall jack closest to the router which was wired into the Verizon shred panel in my garage. Just had to place the Netgear switch on a shelf in the patch panel, publicity it in to the electric outlet, plug in the ethernet connection coming from router and then each of the connections from the living flat and the 3 bedrooms. Voila -- all connected to the router and to the internet.
Netgear FS105NA
This change works like a charm. Zero setup so it was an easy install. I needed multiple network connections at my pleasure center (HDTV, BD, etc) and my broadband router is in an upstairs study. Wireless just doesn't do it yet for streaming movies, plus I did not wish to buy a wireless adapter for each device. This was a great investment.
Eminence lights on each jack, reliable
I like this FS dig up of Netgear's 5- and 8-port 10/100 switches because the status lights are on each jack. You don't have to match up a jack loads on one side with a light number on the other side. I've had several at work and at home and not one has ever failed on me. It's wall-mountable. And they now come with a small, lightweight, force-efficient AC adapter instead of the huge, heavy one that Netgears had been known for. The $10 rebate transform went smoothly, though I received it on a Visa card rather than a check. I tucked this switch in my brother-in-law's TV appliances to network his TV, Blu-ray player, and Wii.

First-rate switch
Amiable small switch, works immediately after plugging. Plugged it to a DLink router to split internet relevance and feed all my PCs; works great.

A superior switch
A wonderful switch at a great value. I use essentially as a "splitter" so that I can have both a laptop and a network printer on my desk.

Network Switches?

Will connecting my 3 computers into a network lash slow down the internet speed?
There will be no hastiness degradation on the backhaul connection from the switch thats connected to the ISP but the speed lag might be felt at the 3 computers which u be to connect... if the backhaul and the switch are fast enough this jitter would be minimum...
simply take it like... if bandwidth is 100... then if all 3 computers try accessing the internet the same however... the effective bandwidth for each computer will become 100/3 (THIS IS ONLY WHEN ALL 3 TRY TO ACCESS AT THE SAME TIME).... best case only one tries to acess... so bandwidth is 100... and at worst cases when all 3 try to access it becomes 100/3.... :)

Yes,it will out of date down the speed,if all the computers are accessing internet at the same time because the bandwith will drastically reduce when more pc's access Internet.

I have to write a java interface to control network ports on various switches. Any ideas on how to start?
May 21, 2008 by Kris S | Posted in Programming & Design
Network switches, java programming, criticism code in netbeans
If the turn supports SNMP, then start here:

And then I mention favourably searching/googling for Java SNMP implementation libraries (there are open-source and free ones out there).

What are the differences among network hubs, network switches and networ routers?
Jan 13, 2008 by cutyshrek | Posted in Computer Networking
These 3 devices are all being hand-me-down for network connection. Though, each one of them have different functions and limitations. Please tell me specifically their differences and functions.
In computers and networking, dirt passed back and forth over the internet are divided into 7 layers, called the OSI model. The OSI model is important because it a "manoeuvre" that all manufacturers have to adhere to, to use TCP/IP (That way you dont have different companies using different standards, some of which dont labour with others)
Physical - The actual ethernet cable, phone line, fiber cable
Data - How the 2 devices on either end of the chain talk to make sure what you're sending is what the other is getting.
Network - This would be your IP address. Kind of like your mailing discourse. (IP works here)
Transport - In basic terms, handles traffic, sets up connections between computers/servers/etc. (TCP works here)
Term - Handles the communications between programs and applications and TCP/IP.
Presentation - how information is presented to you, Jpgs (pictures) are one sample.
Application - The actual application on your system.
Hubs work on layer 1. It's the physical media that's critical here.
A switch works at layer 2. If you go into a command window and type ipconfig /allIn particularYou'll see what's called a physical address. This is also known as a MAC address, and is what switches use to determine how traffic is to be routed.
Routers profession on Layer 3. They are responsible for directing traffic between routers, or routers and switches. Using the same command as above you'll see your IP Lecture. The Router uses IP Addresses when communicating.
Even though we may see www.yahoo.com when we type things into our browser, if you type in nslookup www.yahoo.com
You'll see that there's really an IP address assigned to yahoo.
