Starting download. Press ESC to abort.
After the software image is successfully loaded, the ASASM automatically exits ROMMON mode.
Note You must download the image to the system flash separately after ROMMON boot is complete;
booting the module into ROMMON mode does not preserve the system image across reloads.
Step 8 To verify that the correct software image has been loaded into the ASASM, check the version by entering
the following command:
hostname# show version
