[cisco-voip] 24 port switch question

[Matthew Ballard]

On a switch with all ports running full duplex, the collision domain is
reduced down to the level of the individual port (which is one of the key
benefits of a switch), so you should never see a collision if all ports are
connected at full duplex to other switches and/or devices.

Beyond that, it depends on the switch, as you¹ll hit either port capacity or
forwarding limits of the switch before anything gets dropped.
