T this stage, the Magnum MNS-6K software has been downloaded from the 
GarrettCom site, and the configuration saved. The Magnum-6K switch is now ready to 
upload the new MNS-6K software image.  

Before loading the MNS-6K software 

A 

It will be necessary for the Magnum 6K switch to be reset or re-booted after the new MNS-6K 
software is loaded. Since this may cause a network outage, software upgrades should be 
performed when it is tolerable for the outage and the appropriate users are informed of this 
outage.  

Alternately, if the S-Ring technology is used, the outage will not be noticeable and the switch will 
be re-inserted in the S-Ring after the upgrade is performed. It is however a good practice to 
inform the affected people of a possible outage. 

Accessing the switch 

Continue to use the access method defined in steps 1 and 2. 

The command used for upgrade is  

Syntax    upgrade mode=<serial|tftp|ftp> [<ipaddress>] [file=<name>] 

Where  

mode is the mode by which the software will be accessed for upload – serial, ftp or tftp 

ipaddress is the IP address of the ftp or tftp server (only used when mode = ftp or tftp) 

file=name is the name of the MNS-6K software file to be used for upgrade. This file was 
downloaded from the GarrettCom site (as described in steps 1 and 2).
