Lenovo RackSwitch OOB MGMT Issue?

Good morning,

I'm somewhat new to the RackSwitch world, but this has been bothering me. I have 2x Lenovo RackSwitch G7052 and 2x Lenovo ThinkSystem NE1032.

On the NE1032's, I have the following configured:

interface mgmt0 no switchport vrf member management no ip address dhcp ip address 192.168.50.50/24 

And this works great. I can plug directly into the designated OOB MGMT port with my laptop, and get direct access. Perfect.

The G7052's on the other hand...

interface ip 1 ip address 10.0.0.23 255.255.255.0 enable exit interface ip 4 ip address 192.168.50.50 enable exit 

As per the manual, IP interfaces 1-2 are to be used for in-band management. Interface 4 is reserved for IPv4 on the dedicated OOOB Management port (almost a copy/paste).

However -- when I plug my laptop into the G7052's, the MGMT port lights up but I cannot ping, SSH, HTTPS in like I did with the NE1032's. However, if I plug my laptop into any other access port, it works perfectly fine.

My OCD is going nuts because I have a dedicated MGMT port that I cannot use. Has anyone seen this before, or run into a similar situation?

Thank-you!

EDIT: I understand the subnet is missing from interface ip 4 -- this is what the CLI does. I went back and re-typed it multiple times to make sure it's not a me issue.
