There are numerous methods to get ANY switch to forward data from other
segments into yours. I've yet not seen any networks that had strict static
ARP tables anywhere and a secure switch. Don't trust your switch, just take
a look at the various ARP relay tools (hunt, arptool, arpraw) or sniffers
that support ARP spoofing (dsniff + tools).
