ROM Monitor

This appendix describes the Cisco 1710 Security router ROM monitor (also called
the bootstrap program). The ROM monitor firmware runs when the router is
powered up or reset and helps to initialize the processor hardware and boot the
operating system software. You can perform certain configuration tasks, such as
recovering a lost password or downloading software over the console port, by
using ROM monitor. If there is no Cisco IOS software image loaded on the router,
the ROM monitor runs the router.
This appendix contains the following sections:
