ROM Monitor Commands

Step 4

Step 5

Timesaver

Command	Purpose
exit	Exits global configuration mode.
reload	Reboots the router with the new configuration register value. The router
	remains in ROM monitor and does not boot the Cisco IOS software.
	As long as the configuration value is 0x0, you must manually boot the
	operating system from the console. See the boot command in the “Command
	Descriptions” section on page C-3.
	After the router reboots, it is in ROM monitor mode. The number in the
	prompt increments with each new line.

Break (system interrupt) is always enabled for 60 seconds after the router reboots, regardless of whether it is set to on or off in the configuration register. During this 60-second window, you can break to the ROM monitor prompt by pressing the Break key.
