If you buy a used box made by Cisco/3Com/HP you can trust that if it
says it's a hub, it's a hub.
before buying you should get the model # and grap the manual from the
manufacturer's web site and read up to make sure you know what youi
are buying. I wouldn't trust a seller to describe the item correctly.
HP has a lifetime warranty on some of it's gear. Hard to go wrong.
