I've seen this same situation with Intermapper and Baystack switches
where a few switches report "Promiscuous Mode Enabled". It's a really
old problem dating back years. Never did understand what the root
cause was.

I will have to try and walk this mib and see.
I think what you said and what the HP guys said is so close to being the
same but not quite. You say that a switch must accept all packets as normal
(true) whereas the HP guys seem to say that only packets addressed to the
port (false) is normal.
With the replies from both of you I can now see that Cisco devices also
report the same. This would indicate that either you are right about what
is "normal" or that Intermapper has it backwards as it happens on different
vendors eqpt and is not likely a vendor SNMP issue.
This didn't show before. We are on ver 4.5.5. With the red lettering I
think I would have noticed this so I feel it's a recent change. I look at
interface status all the time. I'll be copying your reply to HP for their
opinion.
Thanks for the response but I think we need a bit more investigation on
this.
