HI Roger,

Two questions:

1. Are you able to browse to [http://leaf-switch:80/ins](http://leaf-switch/ins) (assuming you have nxapi sandbox configured)?

2. What platform and nxos version are you running?

This test was in n9000-dk9. **7.0.3.I1.2**.bin but I also did it in on 6.1(2)I3(1)

Thanks for the additional details. Its definitely a bug that affects the 9K (the nxapi implementation is a little different). Working on a fix that will be available soon
