Catalyst 8540 MSR and CSR route processor (product number C8540 MSR/CSR RP) ROMMON image release 12.0(4.6)W5(13)
This document describes the features and caveats for ROM monitor (ROMMON) functional image release, 12.0(4.6)W5(13), for the route processors used with the Catalyst 8540 MSR and CSR.
This version of the route processor ROMMON image fixes a problem that occurs when the system is configured to autoboot, the configuration register is set to 0x2102, and the secondary route processor crashes during autoboot. This problem is listed in the "Caveats" section later in this release note.
This release note includes the following sections:
The Catalyst 8540 MSR and CSR provide switched connections to individual workstations, servers, LAN segments, and other switches and routers using fiber-optic, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), and coaxial cable.
Slots 4 and 8 of the Catalyst 8540 MSR and CSR chassis are occupied by the dual, field-replaceable route processors, which perform central processing functions and provide redundancy.
This section describes the process you use to determine the existing ROMMON functional image version installed on your route processor.
To display the functional image version in a route processor, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:
| Command | Purpose |

The following example shows the ROMMON functional image information for the route processor in slot 4:

For detailed ROMMON image upgrade instructions, see the "Maintaining Functional Images" section in the "Managing Configuration Files, System Images, and Functional Images" chapter of the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide or the Catalyst 8500 CSR Software Feature & Configuration Guide.
The following example shows the messages that appear when reprogramming the ROMMON functional image:
Switch# reprogram bootflash:RM.120.4.6.W5.13.srec rommon WARNING: Old contents will be completely erased before new contents are programmed. Please stop everything else that is running and save any important information before proceeding. !!! Once programming is complete, system will be automatically reset and boot using new rommon code. Reprogram rommon flash? [yes/no]: yes Proceed with reload? [confirm] Verifying file... Done.

 | Caution FPGA and ROMMON functional image download can not be reverted back once the download is started. Do not interrupt the download procedure. Wait until the download is complete before attempting any commands on the switch. Check file sizes before and after the download. A failure during reprogramming can result in the card being unusable. |
