I have connected my switch procurve 2524(with the latest release) to backbone switch (cisco 4500).
using a sniffer protocol (Ethreal) .i can receive unicast packets that have source and destination mac-address different of mine.
i ask it'is normal for a switch (L2) to receive such traffic?

thank's
