Well a good thing to do is to segment your network. As you are working with
hubs, you'll get a big collision domain. It is more expensive but exchanging
the hubs with 3500 switches is a good idea. This way you can make seperate
VLAN's.
With these VLAN's you'll get smaller collision domains.
Every workstation gets a connection to the switch. This way every
workstation has got an own collision domain. Wich means it isn't
interfearing with other workstations.
Maybe there are some other ways to do this, but this is my opinion on how to
solve your problems.

Subject: Excessive Collisions
Sensitivity: Personal
Hi Group,
A client's LAN was implemented with a stack of three Cabletron hubs and
the Ethernet interface of a Cisco 2522 router has three secondary
addresses in addition to the primary. There are two Windows NT servers
and about thirty workstations.
The problem is that we've been having a lot of excessive collisions on
the Ethernet interface and therefore have decided to introduce CAT 5002
switch in to the LAN.
How best can we modify the LAN with the hubs and the switch to reduce
the collisions? Any opinion is welcome.
Regards,
Stanny.
