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

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
