Auto Upgrade of ROMMON

Auto Upgrade of ROMMON

Upgradable rommon is bundled with the IOS image. You can do an auto upgrade of the ROMMON using
one of the following ways:
Rommon Auto upgrade can be enabled or disabled with by setting the rommon variable
AUTO_UPGRADE_ROMMON to TRUE or FALSE using the following commands:
From the ROMMON:
rommon> AUTO_UPGRADE_ROMMON=TRUE | FALSE
From the IOS:
Router# upgrade rom-monitor preference autoupgrade enable | disable
By default, the upgrade variable is set to be TRUE.
Once the ROMMON is upgraded, the IOS falls back to the ROMMON. Subsequent reload versions
are compared; if the version is the same, then the ROMMON will not be upgraded.
If the AUTO_UPGRADE_ROMMON variable is set to FALSE, use the following command in IOS,
to upgrade:
Router# upgrade rom-monitor internal
