I am confused about the traffic I am seeing on a 100BaseTX port. I was expecting broadcast and multicast traffic as well as unicast traffic replying to the single IP/MAC address of my laptop network analyser. I am seeing unicast traffic between different IP addresses. The unicast traffic is not all traffic going through the switch though. SPAN is turned off.
Was disappointed to learn the 4000 switches share bandwidth between groups of ports. Does the oversubscibing of ports also allow transmission of all traffic between those ports? Is this like having a bunch of 4 port hubs in an expensive switch?
