Because what you're seeing is definitely not normal. Well, the manual doesn't guarantee security either.... The only thing the switch seems to do is give dedicated bandwidth to each port but no one knows if it's a true switch since someone did mention a CableTron switch being nothing but a bundled of hub ports inside grouped together. Also, the management feature isn't suppose to affect data from being seen on all the ports.
