Caution
All user configuration settings are lost when you install the system image. Before trying to recover the
sensor by installing the system image, try to recover by using the recover application-partition
command or by selecting the recovery partition during sensor bootup.
ROMMON
Some Cisco sensors include a preboot CLI called ROMMON, which lets you boot images on sensors
where the image on the primary device is missing, corrupt, or otherwise unable to boot the normal
application. ROMMON is particularly useful for recovering remote sensors as long as the serial console
port is available.
Access to ROMMON is available only through the serial console port, a Cisco-standard asynchronous
RS-232C DTE available in an RJ-45F connector on the sensor chassis. The serial port is configured for
9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
