Configure SG 200-08 switch to act like a hub

[Laurent_Mounet]

Hello,

I would like to configure a switch to act like a Hub. I know about the mirroring port configuration, but unfortunatly is not enough for me. Is it possible to do that with the switch that I have (i.e. SG 200-08) ? If not do you know a switch on which I can configure it like a hub (that mean no flow control between physical ports).

Thank you

Hi Laurent, it is not possible to make a switch act as a hub. Each port is a collision domain. On a hub it is only 1 collision domain. If you're trying to wire shark traffic you will have to use port mirroring.

If you're lookijng for hub behavior, quite practically you should buy a hub, you probably won't find any hubs in local shops but you can buy them on the internet.
