You may be running in bug : CSCsw45464.

Upgrade to 4.2 patch 8 or later (4.2.0.124.8) that should fix the issue.

The root cause of the software bug is : the NIC goes administratively down in some appliances for a certain period after toggling the NIC adapter.

Make sure you have network cable plugged in at the time to setting up ip address. If still you see error, set it up to take ip via dhcp and then you should be able to upgrade it.

To be more precise than the previous post :

Following steps to be done if IP is not taken by the appliance

a. Toggle nic by issuing command "toggle nic"

b. Wait for a minute or two until appliance is

populated with automatic DHCP IP.

c. To verify the above mentioned step, issue "show"

command.

d. Once appliance is populated with an IP, try

setting new IP configuration, should be set successfully.

Then you can go ahead and download the patch file.

If you need help to locate the patch file, contact TAC.

Yep i have gone through the readme.txt file it shows below procedure

On the distribution server:

1.Extract the applAcs_4.2.0.124.8-CSUpdate.zip

2.Run autorun.bat

On the appliance:

1.Stop CSAgent from CLI.

2.Issue the command "download + ipaddress of the machine from you are running the bat file"[Eg: download 198.133.219.25] from CLI of appliance.

3.You should be asked if to proceed,type "yes".

4.Then Issue the command upgrade.

5.Follow the above mentioned steps and apply the "applAcs_4.2.0.124.8.zip" also.

6.Once the upgrade is successfull,start CSAgent.

7.Reboot appliance (If any of the ACS service failed to start)

but i don't have any ip address for the appliance yet , means no L3 connectivity

when i try to assign IP Address with set ip command i throws an error

"Error: Cannot set new NIC configuration

by deafult i doesn't have any management IP Address to access the device

please help how do we achieve this task

we need to have CD/DVD image CD autoboot feature with 4.2.0.124.8 version which is not available at CCO login

Try to toggle the NIC as mentioned earlier and switch to dhcp.

Don't go for toggle option. Please apply patch 12 and that should fix this issue.
