I am just curious whether this behaviour is still valid in newer
switches, like those IOS 12+ ... it sounds to me a very old tricks and

Basically what would happen is all traffic would be flooded to all ports.(No

If the VLAN is configured then, only ports on the same VLAN would receive the
broadcasts. The nature of VLANs prevent broadcast from being delivered to
another VLAN.
Hopes this helps.
