Hard code an ARP entry on the router ..... then flood it from another
port (to the destinatin IP). If it's the same L2 ... hardcode the arp
on a PC ... then send data to it (from that same PC).

The command is used to stop the switch from forwarding unicast packets

stop all unicast traffic from being sent out a port.
Here is an example:
R1 (10.1.1.1) and R2 (10.1.1.2) are connected to ports Fa0/1 and Fa0/2
on the switch. The switch is configured with "switchport block unicast"
on Fa0/1 and Fa0/2.

Subject: switchport block question
Could not understand, what does "switchport block unicast" does ?
How to test/verify this behaviour ?
Router3(F0/0)---------F0/3-Switch-F0/5--------F0/0Router5
Question:
If enabled on F0/3, Does it block unicast traffic from R3 to R5 or
R5 to R3 ?
I tried pinging from R3 & its successful.
