Um.  Adding a normal client machine to an existing hub or switch does  
not constitute a topology change.  Adding a new hub or bridge most  
certainly would constitute a topology change.

[ Add "IMHO" and salt if needed to season to taste.  But if the  
result of a change can result in a loop-- ie, connecting two ports on  
the new hub to the rest of the network, or connecting two ports from  
a bridge to the same hub/switch-- or if the change might result in  
the network no longer being in compliance with the networking  
requirements (ie, you can only daisy-chain a limited number of hubs  
together before you break the timing tolerance)-- such changes do  
effect the topology... ]
