GarrettCom Magnum MNS-6K - Manual (Page 49)

Prior to Release 3.2, the configuration was saved only as a binary object (file). With
Release 3.2 and beyond, the configuration can be saved in the older format – binary
object or in a newer format as an ASCII (readable) file. The new format is preferred by
GarrettCom and GarrettCom recommends all configuration files be saved in the new
format. GarrettCom recommends saving the configuration in the old format only if
there are multiple Magnum 6K family of switches on the network and they all run
different versions of MNS-6K. GarrettCom recommends to upgrade all switches to the
most current release of MNS-6K.
Config files
As shown in the figure above, MNS-6K can now use the ftp, tftp or xmodem commands to
upload and download information to the server running the proper services. One useful capability
provided in MNS-6K is the capability to export the CLI commands (as described in this manual)
used to configure the switch. To do that, for example, using the tftp command, the sequence of
commands are shown below
Magnum 6K25#
show ftp
Current FTP Mode: NORMAL
Magnum 6K25#
set ftp mode=passive
FTP Set to Passive Mode
Magnum 6K25#
show ftp
Current FTP Mode: PASSIVE
Magnum 6K25#
set ftp mode=normal
FTP Set to Normal Mode
Magnum 6K25#
show ftp
Current FTP Mode: NORMAL
Magnum6K25#
ftp put type=config ip=192.168.5.2 file=config
Do you wish to export configuration file? [ 'Y' or 'N']

Magnum6K25#
F IGURE 34 – commands to save the configuration using ftp. Similar options will be specified using tftp etc.
When using the ftp command, use the host command discussed later in this section to define the ftp server
After saving the contents of the saved configuration file are as follows
