Cisco CMTS Cable Command Reference

alias

To define an alias to be used at the ROM monitor prompt, use the alias command in ROM monitor mode.

alias [name=value]

Syntax Description


`[name=value]`	(Optional) Specifies the name of the alias to be defined and its corresponding command string. If the value parameter includes spaces, you must include the string within double quotes.

Command Default

If no arguments are given, displays the aliases that are currently defined.

Command Modes

ROM monitor (>)

Command History


Release	Modification
11.3 NA	This command was introduced on Cisco uBR7200 series routers.
12.1(5)EC	Support was added for Cisco uBR7100 series routers.
12.2(4)BC1	Support was added for the Cisco uBR10012 router. Changes were also made to the boot procedure after breaking into ROMMON to ensure that all hardware and software registers are in a known state before loading the new image.
12.3BC	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3BC.
12.2(33)SCA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA. Support for the Cisco uBR7225VXR router was added.

Usage Guidelines

Aliasing allows you to abbreviate commands or to set up a command so that it is automatically run with certain options. The ROM monitor’s [name=value] alias function is based on the syntax used in the Korn shell on Unix systems.

Normally, only the first word at the ROM monitor prompt is checked for an alias. However, when you define an alias that contains a space as its last character, the ROM monitor also checks the next word at the ROM monitor prompt for an alias.

Note

If an alias contains any spaces, the entire command must be enclosed within quotes when you define it with the alias command. To create an alias for multiple commands, separate the commands with a semicolon (;) delimiter.

Tip

Use the unalias command to delete an alias.

Examples

The following example shows how to display the currently defined aliases:


rommon 13 > alias
 
r=repeat
h=history
?=help
b=boot
ls=dir
i=reset
k=stack
rommon 14 >

The following example defines an alias named “cpuinfo” that executes three separate CPU-related commands:


rommon 31 > alias cpuinfo="cpu_card_type;meminfo;context"
 
rommon 32 >

The following example shows how to define an alias dird that lists the file contents of the Flash Disk in the disk0 slot:


rommon 18 > alias dird="dir disk0:"
 
rommon 19 > alias
 
r=repeat
h=history
?=help
b=boot
ls=dir
i=reset
k=stack
dird=dir disk0:
rommon 20 >

unalias	Deletes a currently-defined alias.

boot

To boot a router manually, use the boot command in ROM monitor mode.

boot [-xv]

boot [-xv] [device:] [imagename]

boot [-xv] filename [tftp-ip-address]

boot [-xv] tftp://server/path/filename

Syntax Description

x

(Optional) Loads the specified image into the router’s memory but does not execute it.

v

(Optional) Enables verbose mode to display debugging information as the image is loaded and executed.

device:

(Optional) Specifies that the router should boot an image on the specified device. If not specified, the router boots from the default memory device.

imagename

(Optional) Specifies the filename for the image to be booted and loaded. If not specified, the router boots the first file on the specified device.

Note

When specifying both a device: and imagename , do not put any spaces between the two arguments.

filename

Specifies the path and filename for the image that the router should download from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.

Note

You must specify the full path for the desired file, as it exists on the TFTP server.

tftp-ip-address

(Optional) Specifies the IP address for the TFTP server from which the router should download and boot the specified filename . If not specified, the router sends a TFTP request to the IP broadcast address of 255.255.255.255 and uses the first TFTP server that responds.

tftp://server/path/filename

Specifies the complete TFTP URL for the filename to be downloaded and run. This URL should specify the fully-qualified server name (or IP address), full path on the TFTP server, and filename to be downloaded.

Command Default

If specified without any options, the boot command loads and executes the first file on the default memory device. If a device is specified without a filename , the boot command loads and executes the first file on that device. If a filename is specified without a TFTP server IP address, the boot command advertises for a TFTP server using the IP broadcast address of 255.255.255.255 and uses the first TFTP server that responds.

12.2(33)SCA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA. Support for the Cisco uBR7225VXR router was added.

Usage Guidelines

The boot command allows a network administrator to boot the router from the ROM monitor (ROMMON) prompt. The router can enter ROMMON for the following reasons:

The administrator interrupted the boot sequence or Cisco IOS software by pressing the BREAK signal.
The router’s configuration register is set to boot into ROMMON (0x00).
The router entered ROMMON because of a software exception or error.

The boot command allows the administrator to continue the boot process or to load a new software image.

Note

To upgrade the router to a new Cisco IOS software image, you can use either the boot command in ROMMON mode or the boot system commands in global configuration mode.

Boot Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.2

Cisco IOS Release 12.2 changed the behavior of the ROM monitor (ROMMON) during the bootup sequence. Previously, users could issue the break signal during the bootup sequence to break into ROMMON, and then immediately boot a new Cisco IOS image using the boot command.

This behavior is no longer allowed when the router is using a boot image that is based on Cisco IOS Release 12.2, because interrupting the boot process could leave the hardware and software registers in an unknown state. Instead, use the following procedure when using a router with a Cisco IOS Release 12.2 boot image:

At the router's console prompt, send a BREAK signal to interrupt the boot process and enter ROMMON.
Set the configure register to boot into ROMMON by giving the confreg 0x0 command.
Use the reset command to reset the NPE and to boot into ROMMON. This ensures a clean boot into ROMMON, with all registers set to a known state.
Set the configure register to boot an IOS image by giving the confreg 0x2102 command.
Use the boot command to boot the desired Cisco IOS image.

Examples

The following example shows how to boot the router using the first file in the default device:


rommon 1 > boot
 
Self decompressing the image :
#######################################################################################
[OK]
(Software image boots...)
Router>

The following example shows how to specify that the router should download and boot the file named “newimage.bin” in the subdirectory named “ubrimages” on the TFTP server with the IP address of 10.10.10.31:


rommon 45> boot tftp://10.10.10.31/ubrimages/newimage.bin
 
Self decompressing the image :
#######################################################################################
[OK]
(Software image boots...)
Router>

The following example shows how to use the alternate syntax to specify that the router should download and boot the file named newimage.bin on the TFTP server with the IP address of 10.10.10.31:


rommon 45> boot newimage.bin 10.10.10.31
 
Self decompressing the image :
#######################################################################################
[OK]
(Software image boots...)

The following example shows the new ROMMON boot procedure that is required when using a Cisco IOS Release 12.2 (or later) boot image:


Router-NPE#
telnet> send brk
 
*** System received an abort due to Break Key ***
signal= 0x3, code= 0x0, context= 0x6208b290

12.2(33)SCA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA. Support for the Cisco uBR7225VXR router was added.

Usage Guidelines

The ROM monitor supports one breakpoint. If set, the processor runs normally, but when its program counter reaches the breakpoint address, the system breaks into ROM monitor mode. You can examine memory locations or register contents, and then continue normal program execution by using the cont command.

Examples

The following example shows how to set a breakpoint so that when the processor breaks into ROM monitor mode when its program counter reaches 0xbfc02708:


rommon 37 > break -s 0xbfc02708 
breakpoint set to 0xbfc02708
rommon 38 >

The following example shows how to display the currently-defined breakpoint:


rommon 38 > break
 
breakpoint set to 0xbfc02708 
rommon 39 >

The following example shows how to clear the currently-defined breakpoint:


rommon 39 > break -c 
breakpoint is cleared
rommon 40 >

Release	Modification
11.3 NA	This command was introduced on Cisco uBR7200 series routers.
12.1(5)EC	Support was added for Cisco uBR7100 series routers.
12.2(4)BC1	Support was added for the Cisco uBR10012 router.

12.2(33)SCA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA. Support for the Cisco uBR7225VXR router was added.

Usage Guidelines

The configuration register determines the router’s behavior when it boots. Typically, an administrator changes the configuration register so that it boots either into ROMMON mode or boots a Cisco IOS software image, but other options are also available.

If given without an argument, the confreg command interactively prompts you for the new values of the individual register settings, using English descriptions. You can either keep the current settings unchanged or change them as desired. The new value of the configuration register is written into the router’s nonvolatile Flash memory (NVRAM) immediately, but does not take effect until you reset the router.

If you specify an argument with the confreg command, it must be a 16-bit hexadecimal value in the following format:

Table 1. Configuration Register Bit Field Descriptions

Bit

Description

15

If set, enables the router’s diagnostic mode (for example, 0x8000).

14

If set, uses the network number in IP broadcasts (for example, 0x4000).

13

If set, allows the router to fall back into ROMMON mode if the boot procedure fails. If not set, the router attempts each valid boot command (as specified by bits 3–0) for a total of 5 times each, until one of the commands is successful (for example, 0x2000).

12–11

Defines the speed, in bps, for the console port:

00 = 0x0000 = 9600 01 = 0x0800 = 4800 10 = 0x1000 = 1200 11 = 0x1800 = 2400

Note

On the Cisco CMTS routers, the console port speed is fixed at 9600 bps and cannot be changed.

10

If set, uses an IP broadcast address that consists of all ones (for example, 0x0400).

9

If set, disables the secondary bootstrap (for example, 0x0200).

8

If set, the router enables the BREAK key, allowing users to break into ROMMON during the boot process (for example, 0x0100).

7

Unused on the Cisco CMTS routers.

6

If set, the router ignores the configuration file in its Flash memory. This is typically done when the user has forgotten the router’s enable password (for example, 0x0040).

5–4

Unused on the Cisco CMTS routers.

3–0

Defines the router’s boot behavior:

0x0000 = Boots to the ROMMON prompt 0x0001 = Boots the ROMMON boot helper software (first file in bootflash:) 0x0002 to 0x000F = Boots a Cisco IOS software image, based on the values of the router’s boot variables. Each boot system command in the configuration file is tried until a valid image is booted.

For example, for normal operations the configuration register is set to 0x2102, which sets bit 13 (allows the router to fall into ROMMON mode if the boot fails), bit 8 (allows the user to break into ROMMON), and bit 1 (boots a Cisco IOS software image). Bits 11 and 12 are cleared, which sets the console port to 9600 bps.

The following are the most commonly-used configuration register values:

0x0 = Boot into ROMMON.
0x2002 = Normal boot for standard operations, but the BREAK signal cannot be used to break into ROM monitor mode.
0x2102 = Normal boot for standard operations, enabling the BREAK signal.
0x2142 = Normal boot but the router ignores the configuration file in Flash memory.

Tip

The confreg command is identical in function to the config-register command that is available in global configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to change the configuration register by using the English prompts. In this example, the only change is to have the router boot the Cisco IOS software image instead of entering ROMMON mode:


rommon 1 > confreg
 
    Configuration Summary
enabled are:
break/abort has effect
console baud: 9600
boot: the ROM Monitor 
do you wish to change the configuration? y/n  [n]:  y

enable  "use net in IP bcast address"? y/n  [n]:  
enable  "load rom after netboot fails"? y/n  [n]:  
enable  "use all zero broadcast"? y/n  [n]:  
disable "break/abort has effect"? y/n  [n]:  
enable  "ignore system config info"? y/n  [n]:  
change console baud rate? y/n  [n]:  
change the boot characteristics? y/n  [n]:  y
 
enter to boot:
 0 = ROM Monitor
 1 = the boot helper image
 2-15 = boot system
    [0]:  2
 
    Configuration Summary
enabled are:
break/abort has effect
console baud: 9600
boot: image specified by the boot system commands
      or default to: cisco2-C10000 
do you wish to change the configuration? y/n  [n]: n
 
         You must reset or power cycle for new config to take effect.
rommon 2 >

Note

After changing the configuration register in interactive mode, the system displays the new values and prompts you again as to whether you want to change them. If the values are correct, answer no and the system returns you to the ROMMON prompt. If you made any changes, the system reminds you that you must reset or power cycle the router before the new configuration register takes effect.

The following example shows how to set the configuration register to the typical value of 0x2102, so that it boots a Cisco IOS software image:


rommon 7 > confreg 0x2102
 
         You must reset or power cycle for new config to take effect.
rommon 8 >

cont

To continue the execution of the Cisco IOS software image that has been interrupted by a BREAK signal or debugger breakpoint, use the cont command in ROM monitor mode.

cont [address]

Syntax Description

address

(Optional) Specifies the address in memory at which the router should continue execution. If address is not specified, the command continues execution at the address currently stored in the program counter (PC) register.

Caution

Do not use the address option unless instructed to do so by Cisco TAC engineers.

Command Default

If given without any arguments, the command continues execution at the address currently stored in the processor’s program counter (PC) register.

12.2(33)SCA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA. Support for the Cisco uBR7225VXR router was added.

Usage Guidelines

The cont command typically is used when a user has interrupted the operation of the Cisco IOS software by using the BREAK signal to enter ROM monitor mode, and then wants to continue with the original Cisco IOS software image. This command can also be used to continue program execution when the user uses the BREAK signal to interrupt the Cisco IOS software boot procedure, or has used the break command to set a debug breakpoint.

Examples

In the following example, the cont command continues executing the Cisco IOS software image, after the user has interrupted the software by sending a BREAK signal:


Router# 
telnet> send brk
*** System received an abort due to Break Key ***
signal= 0x3, code= 0x0, context= 0x6208b290
PC = 0x606b5ab0, SP = 0x80007e00, RA = 0x606d2370

Usage Guidelines

The repeat command repeats one of the commands in the history list (which can contain up to 16 commands). You can specify the command to be repeated by its history number (as shown by the history command) or by a string that will match the command.

If you do not give any arguments with the command, it repeats the last command in the history list once.

Note

The repeat command is not added to the history list, so you cannot repeat the repeat command. You also cannot include the repeat command on a command line that has multiple commands separated by a semicolon delimiter.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the repeat command to execute one of the commands in the history list:


rommon 9 > history
 
1   boot sysfiles/ubr10k-k8p6-mz.12211BC3

Usage Guidelines

The reset command returns the ROM monitor to its initial state, without requiring a complete system reboot by performing a warm reset. This is useful if you have been setting and unsetting registers and variables, and no longer know whether the system is in a stable state.

If you specify the -s option, the system saves the current environment variables and aliases to nonvolatile memory before resetting the ROM monitor, so as to preserve their current values.

Examples

The following example shows how to reset the ROM monitor and return it to a known state:


rommon 59 > reset
 
System Bootstrap, Version 12.0(9r)SL2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

12.2(33)SCA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA. Support for the Cisco uBR7225VXR router was added.

Usage Guidelines

The stack command displays a stack trace of the most recently booted software image. This trace includes the value of the program counter and the selected number of frames from the kernel stack and process stack (if available) from that software image.

Tip

To display details for an individual frame stack, use the frame command.

Examples

The following example shows how to display a stack trace with 6 frames:


rommon 5 > stack 6
 
Stack trace:
PC = 0x02004adc
Frame 00: FP = 0x02003938    RA = 0x02005f2a
Frame 01: FP = 0x02003948    RA = 0x02005df0
Frame 02: FP = 0x02003960    RA = 0x020050ee
Frame 03: FP = 0x02003994    RA = 0x02004034
