Connecting AsanteTalk bridge to a switch or hub
I'm 99% sure this will work fine, but I'm hoping someone will confirm the remaining 1%.
At present my AsanteTalk Ethernet to Localtalk bridge is connected directly to my Airport Extreme Base Station's LAN port. There's nothing else on its LAN port. Appletalk flows happily all throughout my house. I'm expanding my home network and I now need a hub to connect more devices (Ethernet devices that is, not Localtalk).
I believe with Appletalk over Ethernet, Appletalk packets are "packaged" like any other data and a hub won't know the difference. Am I right?
In other words, will the hub (or switch, to be determined) pass Appletalk packets over the wired LAN?
