So let's turn our attention
to yet another one of the built-in nodes.
Previously we spent some good time on the
Ethernet switch node.
Now let's just take a look real briefly at the hub node
so we can see what that does.
So here within the Devices section
if we take a look at that;
in the Switching section right here,
we have the Ethernet hub.
Once again because that's a built-in node,
doesn't require any particular iOS
it's not even running iOS.
It's just gonna have a real simple GUI to configure that.
So just drag and drop that
which is what I've done right here.
And then to configure it
just like we did the Ethernet switch,
we're just gonna right-click on it
and select Configure.
And really there's not much to configure here.
You can change the name
or you can change the quantity of ports.
By default it's eight ports,
you can raise or lower that if you wish;
but that's it!
It is just a plain hub;
doesn't involve VLANs or anything like that.
So in this particular topology,
I've just placed the hub into it,
I've connected it to my various interfaces;
and to verify that it works,
I can just ping from one PC to another.
And that's really all there is to it.
The hub is a pretty simple built-in node.
