Using the ROM Monitor

This appendix describes the ROM monitor (also called the bootstrap program), which is the firmware
that runs when you power on or restart the Cisco IAD2430 series integrated access device (IAD). During
normal operation, the ROM monitor helps to initialize the processor hardware and boot the operating
system software. You can also use the ROM monitor to help you isolate or rule out hardware problems
that you encounter while installing your router.
