Re: VLAN 1 on switches

I think we need to clarify on real world versus exam here.

Real world - yes - we should move all ports out of this VLAN and not
use the default VLAN for anything.

The exam - we need to do whatever the lab implicitly or explicitly
asks us to do. Not much more - and certainly nothing less!
