Note:

Upon completion of application image upgrade, the router reboots and checks Boot ROM version for consistency before starting the VRP software. If the version of the current extended Boot ROM image segment is not the same as that of the extended segment to be started, the system automatically updates the Boot ROM image, and displays “Upgrade Bootrom............! Download completed. Please wait, it needs a
