Exiting ROM Monitor Mode
Tip The first RP to enter EXEC mode becomes the primary RP. You can determine which RP is the
primary RP by resetting that card to EXEC mode first, and then waiting 1 to 2 minutes to allow it to
boot fully. You can also fail over to the standby RP at any time with the failover redundancy
command in EXEC mode.
The following sections describe ways to exit ROM monitor mode:
• Resetting to EXEC Mode with CLI Commands, page A-28
• Resetting to EXEC Mode Using Prompts, page A-28
