    Hi Rodolfo,

    I think you misunderstood.

    The hubs are ONLY used to provide break-in points between two nodes, in this
    case, between the router connected to the leased line, and the top-level
    switch on the LAN.

    These strategically placed hubs serve no other function than to provide a
    place to connect my laptop to for diagnostics purposes.
