Hi all.
   I've encounter the same kind of problem with Nortel Switch and we wasn't able to explain it for the moment.
   Nortel have admit a problem in old version of the software of the BPS 2000 but this is the only think we have.

Objet : [Ethereal-users] Traffic not expected on a switch port


Hi, could somebody give me a hand?

My machine is on a switch (3COM 3300) port and when I run Ethereal (on 
Windows 2000) I see traffic between 2 Oracle Servers (TNS packets)
Those TNS packets have destination and source well specified, it´s not a 
broadcast.
I know I shouldn´t be able to see that traffic, I should only see 
broadcast, multicast and traffic intended to my machine.

Thanks,

Gilberto.
