Switch = Per Port Isolation

On a switch, you shouldn't expect to only see the following types of traffic:

- Packets from your computer
- Packets to your computer
- Broadcast packets (typically network maintenance type stuff in there)

You won't see any of the routine traffic of any other device on any other port (unless your machine is having a conversation directly with a device on another port). That's the nature of a switch.
