200-150 · Question #90
A network administrator is tasked with creating a switched virtual interface for VLAN 100 on a new Cisco Nexus switch. Which two commands does the network administrator need? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. feature interface-vlan B. interface vlan 100. On Cisco Nexus switches, creating a switched virtual interface (SVI) requires enabling the feature and then creating the interface. Both the feature enablement and interface creation commands are necessary.

Why each option
On Cisco Nexus switches, creating a switched virtual interface (SVI) requires enabling the feature and then creating the interface. Both the feature enablement and interface creation commands are necessary.
Cisco Nexus NX-OS requires the 'feature interface-vlan' command to be explicitly enabled before any SVI can be created - this is unique to NX-OS and differs from IOS where the feature is always available.
'interface vlan 100' is the standard command to create and enter the SVI configuration mode for VLAN 100 on both IOS and NX-OS platforms.
'feature private-vlan' enables private VLAN support, which is an isolation feature unrelated to creating standard SVIs.
'interface 100' is not valid Cisco CLI syntax - interface commands require a type keyword such as 'vlan', 'ethernet', or 'loopback'.
'interface mgmt 100' refers to the dedicated out-of-band management interface, not a VLAN SVI used for Layer 3 inter-VLAN routing.
