This ROMMON package is designed primarily for the following Cisco ASR 1000 hardware architectures: Cisco ASR 1001-X and ASR 1002-X routers. Cisco ASR 1001-HX and ASR 1002-HX routers.
Upgrading the ROMMON on an ASR 1000 involves downloading the firmware package, verifying its integrity, modifying the boot variables, and executing the upgrade command. Step 1: Download and Verify the Image
This package typically targets standard ASR 1000 series Route Processors (RPs) and integrated chassis models, including: Cisco ASR 1001-X and ASR 1002-X Cisco ASR 1001-HX and ASR 1002-HX For network engineers running the 17
The asr1000-rommon.173-1r.spa.pkg package is designed for specific Route Processors and fixed-configuration chassis within the ASR 1000 family. Before proceeding, verify that your platform is supported. Supported Platforms Fixed-configuration routers.
Before proceeding with the ROMMON upgrade, engineers should:
Do not power cycle, reset, or disrupt the router while the firmware installation is in progress. Doing so can permanently corrupt the boot chip, requiring a physical hardware replacement. Step 4: Verify the Staged Firmware Cisco ASR 1001-HX and ASR 1002-HX routers
The asr1000-rommon.173-1r.spa.pkg file is not just "another file" on your flash memory. It is the gatekeeper of your ASR 1000 router.
Once upgraded to version 17.3(1r) , the router cannot be downgraded to any earlier ROMmon version.
