Does a Hub Has Multiple Collision Domains?

Collisions are often in a hub environment, because each port on a hub is in the same collision domain. By contrast, each port on a bridge, a switch or a router is in a separate collision domain. We have 6 collision domains in the example above. Remember, each port on a hub is in the same collision domain.

How many collision domains do a hub has?

Hubs send out information to all hosts on the segment, creating a shared collision domain. Switches have one collision domain per port and keep an address table of the MAC addresses that are associated with each port.

Does hub have collision domain?
