Some switches (and hubs, such as the 3Com PS40) are managed switches.
Their configuration menus are usually accessible using an RS232 port or
Ethernet (TCP/IP) using telnet, web or SNMP. These are more expensive.
Some switches (and hubs) are unmanaged. They cannot be configured or
monitored. All ports are set to auto negotiation, auto speed. Naturally,
these are cheaper.
