Hello,

in addition to the other post, you might also try:

N5696# configure terminal
N5696(config)# feature bash-shell
N5696# run bash

[nileshbhadane123]

lab04-ed01(config)# configure terminal
lab04-ed01(config)# feature bash-shell
^
% Invalid command at '^' marker.
lab04-ed01(config)#

I am getting above error
