6) Start up with the initial configuration, ignoring the

configuration file.

In case the password is lost, you can use this option to ignore the

existing configuration and access the router with the initial

configuration. Then you can change the password. To have the router

start up with the new configuration file at next boot, however, you must

save the configuration after you change the password.

7) Enter the debugging environment

8) Enter the Boot Rom submenu

The Boot Rom submenu is displayed:

Boot ROM Download Menu:

1: Download Boot Rom with XModem

2: Download Extended Segment of Boot Rom with XModem

3: Restore Extended Segment of Boot Rom from FLASH

4: Backup Extended Segment of Boot Rom to FLASH

5: Exit to Main Menu

Enter your choice(1-5):

The menu provides approaches to Boot Rom upgrade, backup,

and recovery.

9) Ignore software version for backward compatibility.

In case you fail to upgrade software because the system

considers that you are using an “invalid version” even when the

correct version is used, you can have the system ignore version check

on Boot Rom application, its extended segment, and application. This

is a one-time operation, however; the router checks version again at

reboot.

10) Exit and reboot
