Hello,

Typically ROMMON software is burned into EEPROM (in lower end

routers/switches). So, the chance of that software getting corrupted is very

minimal. You could check the ROMMON version using the "show version" output.

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.3(6r) , RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

The only time you want to upgrade ROMMON on lower end devices is when the

older ROMMON does not support certain hardware. Here is the procedure to

upgrade ROMMON on some of the platforms:

In higher end platforms, typically you use boot images to recover the

device.

Hope this helps.
