Note: A Cisco 12xxx PRP−2 route processor loaded with rommon version 0.67 (1.7dev) cannot read the first
file on Disk 0, and fails to boot automatically. A PRP−2 route processor requires rommon version 2.83
(1.8dev) or later, in order to boot automatically. Earlier versions of rommon encounter read errors when
loaded on a PRP−2. If you have a Cisco 12xxx PRP−2 route processor loaded with rommon version 0.67
(1.7dev), use the procedure explained in the Field Notice: PRP−2 Does Not Auto−boot Due to ROMMON
Read Errors document in order to upgrade to the appropriate rommon version.
This section lists the steps to migrate the configuration from the GRP to the PRP, which enables the PRP to be
