Network question
Hey,
Just need a little help I'm not sure wat I should do.
We have several little networks setup for testing different things. One of these networks we need to have running at full dulpex.
Right now we run 2 hubs (to go off to 2 differnt parts) and they are half dulpex hubs.
Is is possible to get full dulpex hubs? Or would I be better off getting a 24 port switch, getting rid of the 2 hubs now and just move in the 24 port switch. Correct if I'm wrong but doesn't a smart switch sense what connection speed the computer can run at then set the speed at 10 or 100? Or whatever it may be?
Thanks for the advice

NETWORKS(5) BSD File Formats Manual NETWORKS(5)
NAME
networks -- network name data base
DESCRIPTION
The networks file contains information regarding the known networks which comprise the DARPA Internet. For each network a single line should
be present with the following information:
official network name
network number
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. This file is normally created from the official network data base maintained
at the Network Information Control Center (NIC), though local changes may be required to bring it up to date regarding unofficial aliases
and/or unknown networks.
Network number may be specified in the conventional ``.'' (dot) notation using the inet_network(3) routine from the Internet address manipu-
lation library, inet(3). Network names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
INTERACTION WITH DIRECTORY SERVICES
Processes generally find network records using one of the getnetent(3) family of functions. On Mac OS X, these functions interact with the
DirectoryService(8) daemon, which reads the /etc/networks file as well as searching other directory information services to determine network
name and address information.
FILES
/etc/networks
SEE ALSO
getnetent(3), DirectoryService(8)
HISTORY
The networks file format appeared in 4.2BSD.
