Before you configure an SVI on a Cisco Nexus Series switch, which command must you enter?

The correct answer is C. feature interface-vlan. On Cisco Nexus Series switches, many features are modular and must be explicitly enabled before use. SVIs (Switched Virtual Interfaces) are logical Layer 3 interfaces tied to a VLAN, used for inter-VLAN routing and management. Before you can create any SVI with the 'interface…

Explanation

On Cisco Nexus Series switches, many features are modular and must be explicitly enabled before use. SVIs (Switched Virtual Interfaces) are logical Layer 3 interfaces tied to a VLAN, used for inter-VLAN routing and management. Before you can create any SVI with the 'interface vlan <id>' command, you must first enable the feature with 'feature interface-vlan'. Without this, the switch will reject the SVI configuration command. The other options are unrelated features: 'feature pim' enables Protocol Independent Multicast, 'feature ospf' enables the OSPF routing protocol, and 'feature private-vlan' enables private VLAN support-none of which are prerequisites for SVI configuration.
