Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager

Save Configuration Notes

As of version 2.x of the Magnum Router Manager, configuration files are saved with a “.cf2” extension, where previous versions of the Magnum Router Manager saved files with a “.cfg” extension. It is possible to save any configuration as either a version 1 (.cfg) or version 2 (.cf2) format – it is strictly up to the user. It is important to note that if a configuration is saved as a version 1 format, options such as notes, DHCP and RIP Routing will not be written to the disk file. The ability to open and save previous version configurations exists for backwards compatibility.

Send Configuration

Select this button to send the current configuration in the Magnum Router Manager to the connected Magnum Router.

This can also be accessed by pressing ALT-D, and is also available as Send Configuration from the Configuration menu.

The Send Config button will ONLY be available if the Magnum Router Manager is logged onto a Magnum Router.

The next item to accomplish is to transfer the saved configuration file to the Magnum Router. As mentioned earlier, no part of the input configuration is sent to a Magnum Router while being configured. Thus, this step is critical to make the customized configuration operational.

The first item that Send Config does is a cursory check of the configuration to be sent. If there are any errors or warnings found, this screen would appear:
