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 like RIP Routing will not be
written to the disk file. The ability to open and save previous version configurations
exists for backwards compatibility.

As mentioned earlier, no part of the input configuration is sent to a Magnum Router while being
