[ale] network question

[Mel Burslan]

The answer is yes to both hub and switch. If you are using a plain old
dumb hub, you are the one calling the shots which devices can talk to
which other device(s) on any given IP address range/subnet. If you are
using a switch, the situation may get more complicated if there are
"virtual lan"s to get into the action. In which case, switch ports which
are going to be on the same subnet must be assigned to the same VLANs.
