Diagnostics The configuration download may fail for one or more of the following reasons:
• The switch has not been disabled. Disabling the switch is not necessary for configuration files
containing only certain SNMP or Fabric Watch parameters. You can run configDownload first
without disabling the switch, and if there is at least one changed parameter outside of Fabric
Watch or SNMP, you are prompted to disable the switch before proceeding.
• The host name is not known to the switch.
• The host IP address cannot be contacted.
• You do not have permission on the host.
• You are running a script that prints something at login.
• The file does not exist on the host.
• The file is not a switch configuration file.
• The FTP server is not running on the host.
• The configuration file contains errors.
• The configuration file’s logical switch definitions do not match the definitions on the target
switch.
