Navigating the Cisco IOS XR Command Modes

Table 4-4 Common Command Modes and CLI prompts (continued)

Command Mode	Description
Router submode	Router configuration submodes are accessed from router configuration mode. The following
configuration	command syntax is used for entering router address family configuration submode:
	RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 140
	RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 multicast
	RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-af)#
	For more information, see the following Cisco Systems documents:
	• Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide
	• Cisco IOS XR Routing Command Reference
ROM Monitor	The ROM Monitor is a bootstrap program that initializes the hardware and boots the system when
(ROMMON) mode	a router is powered on or reset. ROM Monitor mode is also known as “ROMMON,” which reflects
	the CLI prompt for the mode.
	rommon B1>
	During normal operation, users do not interact with ROMMON. This mode is accessed only by
	manually interrupting the boot process and placing the system in ROMMON. Once in ROMMON,
	you can perform ROM Monitor tasks, including reinstallation of the Cisco IOS XR software,
	password recovery, and other diagnostic tasks.
	The ROM Monitor CLI mode is accessible only from a terminal connected directly to the Console
	port of the primary RP, a terminal-modem connection to the AUX port, or through a terminal server.
	See Cisco IOS XR ROM Monitor Guide for information and instructions on using ROM Monitor
	mode.

Entering EXEC Commands from a Configuration Mode

EXEC commands can be executed from any configuration mode by preceding the command with the do keyword. Executing EXEC commands from a configuration mode allows you to display the state of the system without exiting the configuration mode. For example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# do show version
