Is adding a hub or a bridge a topology change? I'd argue that it wasn't.

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... ]
