Actually, if you watch the debugs I think you will see that if you specify
neighbor it will both unicast AND broad/multicast. The point being that if
in the lab they ask you to unicast to the neighbor you need to do both the
neighbor command and the passive.
This may be different in the newer IOS but it used to do both w/o the
passive command.
