Appendix C ROM Monitor Command Descriptions Commands are case sensitive. You can halt any command by pressing the Break key on a terminal. If you are using a PC, most terminal emulation programs halt a command when you press the Ctrl and the Break keys at the same time. If you are using another type of terminal emulator or terminal emulation software, see the documentation for that product for information on how to send a Break command.

If you do not enter a filename, this command will boot this first image in flash memory. Disaster Recovery with TFTP Download The standard way to load new software on your router is to use the copy tftp flash privileged EXEC command from the Cisco IOS software command-line interface (CLI). However, if the router is unable to boot Cisco IOS software, you can load new software while in ROM monitor mode. This section describes how to load a Cisco IOS software image from a remote TFTP server to the router flash memory. Use the tftpdnld command only for disaster recovery, because it erases all existing data in flash memory before downloading a new software image to the router.
