Good idea, but don't setup a bridge, turn on the switch function. This
is done by setting a master interface on the interface.

Set 3 ports in a bridge, hook up a sniffer to one port, pass traffic
between the two other ports and see if you see traffic? That should
tell you which it is.
Would also be interesting to see the arp table in this situation...

This question came up a few weeks ago in the midst of a discussion about the
RB493/450 etc.
Someone (I don't remember who) asserted that when using the built-in switch
capabilities of these routerboards, that the actual function is like a hub, not
a switch.
Anybody know for a fact that this is the case?
What about the RBs that are actually supposed to be a switch (e.g. RB250)?
Would be a shame if they really are acting as hubs.
