CISCO 3650 Keeps starting in ROMMON by default

[RTStrecker]

Just as the title says: my switch keeps starting in ROMMON mode. It has configs and works, but where I am there are frequent power outages and I constantly have to go log into the switch locally to tell it to boot. Is there a way to make the switch boot in a functional state by default?

[RTStrecker]

Essentially the process is this: a power outage happens > switch reboots > I enter the boot command > switch works. I want the switch to do what every other switch does and skip the 3rd step.

Ohter one check show  boot - make sure you have image in the boot variabe (after booting the device)

example : (if this install mode - you should see packages.conf (in place xxxxxx) - if this bundle mode  you see image.bin

Switch#show bootvar
BOOT variable = bootflash:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist

if not chcek dir flash: and replace the image.bin with the flash output file.

Switch(config)#boot system flash bootflash:image.bin

validate #show bootvar

#wr and reload

Check show version - what is your REG value

if not 0x102 - change as below :

Conf t

config-register 0x102

end

wr
