network traffic visible to all ports
Hello,
I recently started running tcpdump on our network and noticed I am seeing traffic destined for other ports on the switch. Our setup consists of HP procurve 4206 and sonicwall FW/GW. The subnet is 10.130.102/24 on the switch--I have one machine plugged into the new switch and i have port 1 tagged to another HP switch which is tagged also on the other end. The traffic flows correctly through the network and do not have any issues seeing other machines or getting out of the network. i have a workstation on a different subnet accessing the HP switch management console and can see their traffic via the only workstation plugged into the Procurve 4206. This does not seem right? i was under the impression that I could only see packets destined for my workstation.
Thanks,
Brad
