  • Page 37: Rom Monitor Overview And Basic Procedures

    The ROM Monitor software is also known as ROMMON, boot software, boot image, or boot helper. Although it is distributed with routers that use the Cisco IOS software, the ROMMON is a separate program from the Cisco IOS software. During normal startup, ROMMON initializes the router, and then, the control passes to the Cisco IOS software.
  • Page 38 ROMMON mode is a router mode, not a mode within the Cisco IOS software. The ROMMON software and the Cisco IOS software are two separate programs that run on the same router. At any given time, the router is running one of these programs, but it never runs both at the same time.
