SolutionIf you can change that IP address and domain ID and retry it would be a good start. I don't recall and I'm too lazy to lookup the default domain ID... but change it to a unique ID (not one you are already using on SAN)
you said vista PC connected to switch. Does that mean over a network or direct with an ethernet cable. it sounds like you are possibly modifying your network and network card to see a 10. net address, correct?

Re: SAN Switch 2/16 configUpload fails
If you have multiple switches and they all are default IP address 10.77.77.77 you want to be careful how you access them. Direct connect from laptop is the best way to change IP address(s)... Then you can put them on a network and telnet/ftp into them at will...
If this is "production" make sure you write a MOP (method of proceedure) and submit proper change requests and configuration info. If you are a small shop and don't have/follow ITSM guidelines, write one anyway and submit here...

Re: SAN Switch 2/16 configUpload fails
I am using a crossover cable to connect directly to the SAN switch from PC (running Windows Vista 64 bit). I am not connecting over any network.
There are two SAN switches and with both I am getting the same upload failed errors when I try to use configUpload.
Now that you know I am connecting directly from my PC to the SAN switches are you able to help me now.
Thank you.

Re: SAN Switch 2/16 configUpload fails
You need to connect your laptop on same network as your FTP and then upload the file..
If it is an internet ftp site then you need your laptop to have a internet connection
sorry for being so blunt but what you are doing is failing every networking fundamental

No. Danesh said that he could telnet to the switch, which short of proves that the network is working.
I'll guess that the Windows firewall is probably blocking the incoming FTP traffic from the switch.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: SAN Switch 2/16 configUpload fails
I think you missed what Danish said. Please read all his posts first
For your convenience here is what Danish said : "I am using a crossover cable to connect directly to the SAN switch from PC (running Windows Vista 64 bit). I am not connecting over any network"
He can obviously telnet to the switch this way but he is still not on the same network as the FTP site.

Re: SAN Switch 2/16 configUpload fails
He also indicated he was using 10.77.77.77 to connect, which indicates to me he's not really on a network yet for managing these switches.
So, I can see it's possible that thinking there is a pseudo ethernet network gets stuck in your head because of the FTP server element. But it seems like it's not in the case of this thread. I get the cases mixed up often, if I'm looking at enough of them...
