Switch ports as hub

ccie5851

I need to know if there is a way to have say 4 or 6 ports on a Cat 4006 act more like a hub than a switch. (Kind of like the old Cat 5000 group switching cards) We are having problems using Windows Load Balancing and the only way to fix the server-to-server communications problem is to hang the servers off a hub and uplink the hub to the switch. Is there any way to circumvent the normal switching behavior of a group of ports?

Thanks

None that i am aware of. Open a tac case or case with microsoft to fix the root cause rather turn the cat4k into an expensive hub ;)

If you want, you can explain why the switch behaviour is affecting the load balancing and we can try to fix the root cause.
