IP330 PC Port - Acting like a hub, and not really a switch?

Been doing some tests with my PC attached to my IP 330 using Wireshark....

It appears that the 330 is acting as a hub, and not the switch as documentation suggests. I can clearly capture the phone's RTP and SIP traffic on the attached PC Port, despite the packet destination being non-local.

If the IP330 indeed does have a switch, it shouldn't be sending this traffic to the PC... unless there is some undocumented feature that enables/disables this mode (possibly for diagnostic and/or recording purposes).

Is there a way to change this behaviour and have the phone act as a true switch and only send packets destined for my PC through the PC port?

Any information is appreciated.

I'll lab this and see what I find. What version of bootrom and sip are you running on the 330?
