Comment Re:Network meltdown due to hub cross-connects (Score 4, Interesting) 305

According to CCNA Sem 1, a hub is a multiport repeater that operates in layer 1. A switch is a multiport bridge that operates in layer 2. I thought these definitions are universally accepted and used, until I used non-Cisco devices. I now have to refer to L2 and L3 switches even if CCNA taught me that these are switches and routers, respectively.
