/ Question here:
You say if you have six hosts (workstations) and the hub you have 7 MAC
addresses.
Now I understand the six workstations have NICs. But does the hub port also
have a NIC?
Would a printer connected to the same hub port have a NIC also? I
understand that the hub port and printer would each be considered a host.
So does this mean that all hosts also have NICs?
