Cisco Nexus Error 19 when assigning IP address

[SpaceAceFrehley]

Hi,

I have a Cisco Nexus N5K-C56128P on a CLI and am trying to configure it's IP address. I have a similar unit which has changed address successfully, but this one generates an error message.

I've double-checked cable assignment to the correct sockets, so I think there's something else amiss.

Posted below is an output, TiA.

switch(boot)# configure terminal

switch(boot) (config)# interface mgmt0 

switch(boot) (conf-if)# ip address 172.18.50.23 255.255.255.0

Unable to get mgmt interface state. err 19

Your switch in boot mode - fix that as below suggested steps :

Hello,

I've established connection with an identical unit and have changed the ip successfully from the same switch (boot)# prompt.

identically standalone unit boot mode ?

[SpaceAceFrehley]

Same unit, same boot mode, both reading "switch (boot)#" using different bootloader and bootfile versions though, I'm currently seeing if the uncooperative unit will work via USB transfer.

I never tried that boot mode, bit boot mode is boot mode, you need to boo the device with the right image.
