Describe the router's ROM.

What will be an ideal response?


Read-only memory (ROM) loads the bootstrap program that initializes the router's basic hardware components. ROM is not modified during normal operations, but it can be upgraded with special plug-in chips. The content of ROM is maintained even when the router is rebooted, which is similar to how ROM operates on a PC.

The ROM monitor firmware runs when the router is turned on or rebooted. You can configure new passwords with ROM monitor if password recovery is necessary. You can also download new software to the router using ROM monitor. You know that you are in ROM monitor mode when the prompt is just the greater-than sign (>) or the greater-than sign preceded by rommon 1 or something similar (rommon 1>).
