Hi Guys, I'd like to share with you an experience I had yesterday: I had a 1720 router which had been turned off during an IOS update, so there was nothing in it's flash memory (or an incomplete IOS image). As result it entered in Rom Monitor when it was powered up again. There should have been be no problem, all I should have to do was to erase the flash again and copy another image to the flash memory from the rommon. But, although I could see the output when the router was booting and the rommon prompt when it was done, I was not able to type anything to it. I thought I had a problem with the serial port of my computer, the HyperTerminal software or the console cable, but I switched everything and nothing changed. I was up to consider that I had lost the router when I decided to disconnect the LAN cable from it's fast Ethernet port before trying again and, voila: It worked! I don't know why, but the LAN cable connected to the Fast Ethernet port of the router was preventing it from accepting any input from the console while in rommon! So, if you ever encounter a problem on typing anything on the rommon prompt of a router, try to disconnect the LAN cable cause it may be the source of your problem!
