Only one active svi allowed at a time on an L2 switch. Running that command created a new svi (vlan300) which "deactivated" vlan1. I use "reload in 5" liberally, and if I know the change will break my connectivity I use "config replace ..." combined with a "reload in ....". I've got gear at towers many hours' drive away and a lot of them do no have OOB, so I always try to cover my butt...
