Port Partitioning
A port is automatically disabled by the hub when a serious error occurs, such as continuous collisions on a single packet. This process is known as autopartitioning. A partitioned port indicates an overloaded network or a malfunctioning device on the network. When the port receives a valid packet from the connected device, or is able to transmit a packet from the port, it automatically releases the port so that it becomes active again.
•Partitioning occurs at a 100 Mb/s port when there are 61 consecutive collisions.
•Partitioning occurs at a 10 Mb/s port when there are 32 consecutive collisions, or when one collision lasting as long as 575.2us has occurred.
MDI/MDI-X Modes
Adapter cards in computers and workstations usually contain
You need a crossover cable to connect your hub to other hubs, switches and routers if you are using a hub port in normal,
You can configure port 1 on the BayStack
