Please log in for more thread options I got a hub, and I noticed that it has an Uplink port and 8 other ports. Is the Uplink port functionally equivalent to the other 8? Thanks. | |||||||||||||

Maybe, but -most- of the time that you see an Uplink port on something, it indicates that the device is a switch and not just a hub. | |||||||||||||

Most of the time I saw this it was a port wired such that a non-crossover cable would work from the uplink port to a regular port on another hub. But it's been more than a few years. | |||||||||||||

It usually has an internal cross-over, and when in use one of the plain ports often must be un-occupied. -- Robert | |||||||||||||
