<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>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.<BR>
<BR>
Beyond that, it depends on the switch, as you’ll hit either port capacity or forwarding limits of the switch before anything gets dropped.<BR>
