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.

The RB250 is DEFINITELY a switch. I have not tried the 400 series devices, but you can rest assured that the 250 is a switch.
