• [OS2HW] mixing 10mb hub with 100mb router

    From "os24u@wisdomtree.info [OS2HARDWARE@1:3634/1000 to All on Sat Jun 28 12:51:35 2014

    Have old Compaq Netelligent 16 port hub 10Mbs which am thinking to add to network with 100Mbs router.
    Would this cause problems with differing speeds? Is fine with lower speeds on hubbed computers. Would
    such setup slow entire network?

    ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 mtu 1480
    route add default 192.168.1.1 -hopcount 1

    Anything else to change if hopcount and metric bumped to 2? Do have other 100Mbs routers. Better to add
    another router than slow hub? Or do I really need a hub?

    Cal
