Hi,
Yeah, well that's actually pretty much what we are talking about.
I don't know what exactly you mean by "hub mode".
The switch will of course not act like a real hub on the physical level, but it will show all traffic of all ports on the mirroring port.
Is that what you want? Then the GS105E does the trick.

Hello,
anyone a suggestion for a cheap switch that can be used as switch but
can also be changed into "hub mode"?

One question though, it looks like the switch can only be configured by the windows utility. Can it also be configured by CLI or WEB after the utility has provided the switch with an IP address?
