350-601 Network Practice Question
Which VLAN range is reserved by default on Cisco Nexus switches?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that VLANs 1002-1005 are reserved on all platforms, but on Nexus switches these legacy VLANs are not present, and the trap is that candidates confuse classic IOS behavior with NX-OS behavior.
