00:00:02,868 --> 00:00:05,535
(intense music)

2
00:00:08,997 --> 00:00:09,830
So let's turn our attention

3
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:12,583
to yet another one of the built-in nodes.

4
00:00:12,583 --> 00:00:14,602
Previously we spent some good time on the

5
00:00:14,602 --> 00:00:16,282
Ethernet switch node.

6
00:00:16,282 --> 00:00:19,234
Now let's just take a look
real briefly at the hub node

7
00:00:19,234 --> 00:00:22,252
so we can see what that does.

8
00:00:22,252 --> 00:00:24,164
So here within the Devices section

9
00:00:24,164 --> 00:00:26,114
if we take a look at that;

10
00:00:26,114 --> 00:00:29,036
in the Switching section right here,

11
00:00:29,036 --> 00:00:31,119
we have the Ethernet hub.

12
00:00:32,556 --> 00:00:35,245
Once again because that's a built-in node,

13
00:00:35,245 --> 00:00:36,941
doesn't require any particular iOS

14
00:00:36,941 --> 00:00:38,213
it's not even running iOS.

15
00:00:38,213 --> 00:00:41,584
It's just gonna have a real
simple GUI to configure that.

16
00:00:41,584 --> 00:00:42,864
So just drag and drop that

17
00:00:42,864 --> 00:00:45,650
which is what I've done right here.

18
00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:46,731
And then to configure it

19
00:00:46,731 --> 00:00:48,172
just like we did the Ethernet switch,

20
00:00:48,172 --> 00:00:50,070
we're just gonna right-click on it

21
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:52,140
and select Configure.

22
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:53,873
And really there's not
much to configure here.

23
00:00:53,873 --> 00:00:54,714
You can change the name

24
00:00:54,714 --> 00:00:56,515
or you can change the quantity of ports.

25
00:00:56,515 --> 00:00:57,902
By default it's eight ports,

26
00:00:57,902 --> 00:00:59,923
you can raise or lower that if you wish;

27
00:00:59,923 --> 00:01:00,844
but that's it!

28
00:01:00,844 --> 00:01:02,186
It is just a plain hub;

29
00:01:02,186 --> 00:01:05,167
doesn't involve VLANs
or anything like that.

30
00:01:05,167 --> 00:01:07,047
So in this particular topology,

31
00:01:07,047 --> 00:01:08,338
I've just placed the hub into it,

32
00:01:08,338 --> 00:01:10,817
I've connected it to
my various interfaces;

33
00:01:10,817 --> 00:01:12,047
and to verify that it works,

34
00:01:12,047 --> 00:01:15,297
I can just ping from one PC to another.

35
00:01:20,297 --> 00:01:22,034
And that's really all there is to it.

36
00:01:22,034 --> 00:01:25,451
The hub is a pretty simple built-in node.

37
00:01:26,754 --> 00:01:29,421
