There is of course one item to do with switches which we really
haven't covered in this discussion....
Preferably all the MAX's should be pulled into the ONE switch.
Preferably the SWITCH should have a backplane bandwidth big enough to
handle the task.
---------------------------------------------------
I just pulled an old unlabelled 10 meg switch from a customers
premises and replaced it with a Bay 350T.
Originally I thought the switch was a hub, But the taiwanese
documentation, whilst not identifying the manufacturer or model, had
diagrams & instructions to match the device. Yes they claimed it was
a switch.
In the work shop, doing some tests, yes it is a switch but I guess
its internal bandwidth is like an outdoor dunny (up the sh*t).
