switch might enter ROMMON mode if it does not find a valid system image when it is booting, or if its
configuration file is corrupted. For more information, see the

The Cisco IOS command interpreter, called the EXEC, interprets and runs the commands you enter. You
can abbreviate commands and keywords by entering just enough characters to make the command unique

terminal command to config t.
When you type exit, the switch backs out one level. To exit configuration mode completely and return
to privileged EXEC mode, press Ctrl-Z.
