Can I use rdsh from tmos

I am trying to use rdsh for route domains. But when I enter rdsh ID it sends me to tmos shell. When I try telnet to IP and port I receive message Connection refused. But when I try with rdexec from b...

    Update:

    I found that this works: 

    Leo@(bigIP)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) bash    
[Leo@bigIP:Active:In Sync] ~  rdexec 2 bash    
[Leo@bigIP:Active:In Sync:%2] ~

    In other words, instead of calling "rdsh [id]", use "rdexec [id] bash".

Same here.

Leo@(bigIP)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) bash
[Leo@bigIP:Active:In Sync] ~  rdsh 1
Leo@(bigIP)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) bash
[Leo@bigIP:Active:In Sync:%0] ~

Notice the prompt says we are at the default route domain (%0) instead of the intended (%1). (I modified bashrc file to add the route domain to the prompt)

When logging with root, I end up directly in the Bash shell, and rdsh works normally.

Since I am using Radius to login, and with Radius I cannot configure the remote accounts to log in directly in Bash, I am afraid that rdsh is not available to me 😞

I am right? Using 11.4.1

    What have you added to the .bashrc file to display the route domain?
