Hey

I only heard of maintenance mode being available in NX-OS

what exactly are you trying to

[gkurunthasalam]

Thank you. I am trying to move a router to maintenance mode. it is C2800 Version 12.7 IOS version. So, this option is only possible in Nexus devices and not in IOS platform devices?

[Mark Malone]

Hi

never seen it in IOS and I have been on most types of devices at one stage or another, from what Im aware of its an NX-OS feature only

Indeed. Only NX-OS.

Like thise:

Entering Maintenance Mode

Before You Begin

If you are going to create your own profile rather than let the system mode maintenance command do it for you, see Configuring the Maintenance Mode Profile File.

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	switch# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2	switch(config)# system mode maintenance [dont-generate-profile]	Executes a previously created maintenance mode profile file or dynamically creates a maintenance mode profile file. The dont-generate-profile option suppresses the creation of the maintenance mode profile file. Note    The system prompts you to continue. Enter y to continue or n to terminate the process.

Thank you. so this is not possible in C2800 routers with IOS 12.7 version?

[jg.vink01]

Google don't give me any result on this... So i don't think it's possible. I find it only for NX-OS

I think you mean rommon...

Here is the link - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/2600-series-multiservice-platforms/22188-pswdrec-2600.html

So you need to connect to your router via console cable and reboot it. Press Break on the terminal keyboard within 60 seconds of power up in order to put the router into ROMmon.
