Q&A
| Q1: | Should I use a switch port for every PC? |
| A1: | Yes, if humanly possible. Shared Ethernet is dead. |
| Q2: | Are there errors other than collisions? |
| A2: | Collisions cause other errors, such as CRC errors and runts (shorts). But on the whole, most errors are collision related. |
| Q3: | Hard-setting my switch will force me to reconfigure it if things change. Isn’t there an easier way? |
| A3: | Sure. Use the same brand of Ethernet cards as switches. You’ll be okay. Probably. |
