I have a Catalyst 4506e that works fine but if reload, it boots in rommon mode. I can start it with a boot command, but by default, i must type a command. My config-register is 0x2102.
I have recently bought a used 2600XM, I was trying to boot it, I get some errors and end up being the ROMMON mode:

I have a customer that has an air-lap1142. He says that it boot to Rommon, and he has to issue the boot command to get it to boot. What is the rommon command to have the ap boot to the image automatically?
When my ASA5505 starts it loads into rommon. I enter "boot" and everything boots fine. How do I make that load by default whenever it starts. Any correct command syntax to make that happen ?
I've ended up in rommon mode on my new"old" RMA'ed ASA5505, and I'm stuck there, I'v tried to erase Disk0 and all that, and tftp'ed a new image into the box, but when booting I get the message :

Yesterday a coleagu accdently removed the CF card from the router now the router does no longer want to boot completely. It extracts the image from the CF card but when it has to initialize the configuration it stucks there for hours. Can it be that the startup config is somehow corrupted?
When i try to tftpdnld is says that the mac address is illegal.

i facing problem with my switch cisco 3560G, when it power on only System light is green and noting happen. i check with serial cable ( Console) but noting happen no booting.
I have a 6500 that keeps booting into Rommon, even though it has a valid image file on the sup-bootdisk, and the config register is 0x2102. When it reloads I see this on the screen: [code] It seems like the repeating error is "error - on read during ELF program load". I can boot the system off of a CF card, but I'd like to use the sup-bootdisk.
Yesterday I've faced a Problem that is not letting me boot with the new IOS.
Actually I'm planning upgrade IOS which supports SSH. As part of plan I've downloaded the new IOS image and uploaded via TFTP server to the switch.
After uploading to the switch. I've verified image and MD5 hash also. Everthing is fine. Then after I set the boot variable for the newly uploaded Image.
When I'm rebooting the Device it is not taking the new IOS. It's booting with the OLD image. Even It's not showing any error message while rebooting (ACTIVITY FILE ATTACHED FOR YOUR REFERENCE) I can't take risk by deleting the old IOS.
I tried to upgrade the IOS on my internal AP and now I am in a reboot cycle. I have tried to manually boot the old and new IOS images from the rommon but neither are working. here is the output I am getting:
I bought a CISCO SG200-18 switch. I added the Switch to my LAN and started the Switch (as described in the manual). The Switch starts the booting procedure (green blinking status LED) After a while, the LED starts to blink orange and green, instead of steady green.
In generally the Switch seems to work. I can access my whole network, but not the web interface of the switch itself. I also can't see the switch in the ADSL / DHCP rooter.
I also tried to boot the switch only connected to the PC. But ping on 192.198.1.254 is not working. The switch is in the same subnet like my other LAN components.
I have a new cisco 1941 router that I am setting up with pxe-booting. I have never setup pxebooting before and i have this setup so far ip dhcp pool Admin
-option 66 ip 192.168.1.4 -option 67 ascii pxelinux.0
and i can pull an ip but it keeps getting hung up when it comes to the TFTP part.
I have a Cat6506. There were 2 Sup 720 in it for redundancy. They told me they had problems with this thing in the past needing to go out and reboot the machine. I need to go out periodically because it goes into ROMMON. I type boot and it comes back up. One time though neither one would reboot. I had to take a third one out there and reconfigure it. Now it is starting to do the same thing. One thing I did notice is they never connected it to an UPS. It is plugged strait into the wall with power going to two outlets. I am beginning to think there are spikes in the power occurring and this is sending it into ROMMON.
I upgraded four 3560E, 12.2(44) to 12.2(55)SEThree 3560 works fine, the last one stops after 17-18 seconds with a solid green LED. I cant get into ROMmon, the switch doesn't boot up. its like "dead but still alive"
My TS: 1: Removed all SFPs. 2: Reset PSU and fan modules. 3: Replace PSU and fan modules. 4: Try to get into ROMmon.(pushing mode button and break seq.) Startup LED:0-1 seconds: SYST: Amber RPS: Amber STAT: Green DUPLEX: Green SPEED: Green 1-17 seconds SYST: Blinking Green RPS: OFF STAT: OFF DUPLEX: OFF SPEED: OFF 18 s--> (only testet up to one hour) SYST: Solid Green RPS: OFF STAT: OFF DUPLEX: OFF SPEED: OFF
A working 3560EStartup LED information. If I compare a working switch with the faulty switch I can see about 18 seconds into bootingSYST change very fast from green to amber and continues with booting,this doesnt happened on the faulty switch (solid green 18 seconds). Pushing MODE button, doesn't get me in to ROMmon, this works for all the other switches.On a normal 3560 it takes around 40 seconds before I get in to ROMmon. With this faulty switch it stops after 18 seconds(solid green) and it doesnt respond.
Could not find a valid file in BOOT environment variable. BOOT variable can be set from IOS. To find currently setRom Monitor variables, type 'set' command.
Choosing a boot method, type 'confreg' command.rommon 1
I have a brand new 3650x switch that I was configuring via console and left it on overnight; this was friday night ( I forgot to keep the air conditioner on). When I returned Sunday afternoon and checked the switch I realized that the SYS and STAT lights on the front were not on, however the Leds on the PS module were still on. I powered it down and turn it on again but still there are no lights on the front. The PS OK and AC OK leds on the PS module are on but I noticed the leds on the two fan modules are not green or even amber; they are off.When I first turned on the switch I remembered distinctly that there were loud noice and if all fans were in overdrive mode for a few seconds then the went to normal. I'm not gettgin this loud noise phenomenom.
i am facing time daely issues on cisco 2960 s series switch while booting .It is taking time for electing masrer and sleeve for stacking.can i disable the election process for stcking while booting.
One of the 6500 was going in bootrom mode, so I have formated the flash disk using the other Cisco 6500 switch and copied IOS file to the boot disk. But the 6500 booting failed.
I'm currently pursuing to take my CCNA and am currently studying for it, but have recently encountered a problem with one of my 1760 routers that I can not solve.Yesterday I went to boot up my router like normal, however when I went into hyperterminal I noticed the router was in Rommon mode. Thinking I could change the configuration registry, I tried to bypass the NVRAM by using confreg 0x2142. However this still causes the router to go into Rommon mode. I am getting an error that states that there is insufficient memory to load the IOS image. [code]
I have used the dir flash: command and can see the IOS image, and try to boot from it (boot flash:iosimagename) but it will still go back into rommon mode. I also just swapped the RAM from my other 1760 into this 1760 and it booted up and went into normal configuraiton mode without any issues. However, the other router now will not load it's IOS image and I get the exact same error.I'm at a loss here, and have searched to figure out where or how I can just wipe the router clean to try and start fresh, but cannot get out or Rommon mode. The only thing I can think of is that the RAM went bad since it wont boot up either machine.
I have an issue with a customers 6503 with Sup-2T cards, where we are locked out of the console due to an authentication configuration error. So tried several times to get the card into rommon, with no success.
Checking through the various documents on CCO I dont find any reference to rommon on this card, but do find information on using the CMP to support the supervisor. I logged into the CMP but couldn't find a way from there to do a password reccovery either.So, is the `normal' IOS rommon/password recovery method supported.
I am facing a problem with a cisco 6509 that goes into rommon every time i restart. If i give the command
rommon 1> boot
it will pick up the IOS on the sup-bootdisk: or bootdisk: and boots up but i dont understand why on reboot it wont pick up this IOS and boot itself and why do i have to write boot command everytime on rommon.
I have also explicitly given the command "boot system bootdisk:IOSNAME.bin" in the startup config file but still no luck.
today I received a Cisco 1841 Router with a problem i have never seen before. Maybe this my 1st really,really broken Cisco Router. When I power the Router on, the fan and all lights turn on (green) and that's it. Nothing changes, also after minutes of wating. On console i don't get any messages and I already tried every BAUD rate possible. Switched the router off/on again and again. And no, it's obviously not a console problem of my computer, because i tried with different routers.
I have a 4507R with a WS-X4515 supervisor V. It was booting into rommon mode, so I attempted to boot to an IOS image from TFTP. The boot process hangs at at the end of the below output and the then the status light blinks orange. I left it sit like this overnight, and it remained the same.
One of my customer had a problem with A/C and the room temperature reached almost 50 C. We came to the site and saved the configuration, took a backup and shutdown the switch.
After the A/C problem is resolved, we tried to power-on the switch .. and we found that it is going to the rommon.
I put "boot" command to boot from the bootdisk, but I am getting the following error:
Code...
I tried to search it, But it is resulting in that most probably it is a hardware failure on the SUP.
I have a cisco 7606-S with dual RSP720-3CXL. Devices reloaded and now none of the RSPs are booting.When I have tried to take the console using only one RSP, card going to rommon mode after that it hangs. I guess its firmware is corrupted.
I have 6509 E. Actually what happen it last 3-4 times it reload its self and got stuck in rommon mode, i tried to boot it with boot by connecting a console cable on supervisor 720 2b. What and where is problem and why is stuck in rommon after reload.
I tired to upgrade the flash memory on my 871. I have tired to send single break and removing the flash card to drop the 871 to rommon. but no luck, all i get is the below error. I have try restart button on the back and get the same results. How to get the router into rommon mode so i can place the IOS on the flash ?
i have a Cisco 6513 it is used one, i have tryed to boot it but it did not work, it alwayes go to rommon mode and i am not able to know what is the issue,
when it boot i get the below outpot from the switch.

if it is possible to recover a Cat 6500 that has no code on bootflash from ROMMON, and is it mandatory to have a compact flash card to do the recovery ? or can one use xmodem or TFTP ?
I have ROM MON version 12.2(17r)S2 and I am trying to determine if I need to chnage this to 12.2(17r)SX7. It does not appear I need to with the upgrade to 12.2(33)SXI10. Is this correct?
