ROMMOM Command-Line Interface
ROMMON is a ROM-based program that is involved at power-up or reset, or when a fatal exception error
occurs. The switch enters ROMMON mode if the switch does not find a valid software image, if the
NVRAM configuration is corrupted, or if the configuration register is set to enter ROMMON mode.
From the ROMMON mode, you can load a software image manually from Flash memo ry, from a network
server file, or from bootflash.
You can also enter ROMMON mode by restarting the switch and pressingCtrl-C during the first five
seconds of startup.
Note Ctrl-C is always enabled for 60 seconds after you reboot the switch, even if Ctrl-C is configured to be
off in the configuration register settings.
When you enter ROMMON mode, the prompt changes to rommon 1>. Use the ? command to see the
available ROMMON commands.
For more information about the ROMMON commands, refer to the
Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Command Reference.
