If you have ever wondered, which RD are you in (when working in the command line and switching between Route Domains using rdsh), add the following to your /etc/bashrc getRD() { rd='' if [ -n "$TMOS_RD" ]; then rd="%$TMOS_RD" fi echo "$rd" } and update the PS1 variable definition according to your taste. For example PS1='[$USER@$(getHostName):$(getPromptStatus)$(getAvcCount)$(getRD)] \W \$ ' The Route Domain ID will be shown in the prompt, like this [admin@bigip:Active%2] config

Thanks Tarmo, this will be very useful.

Thanks for the suggestion Tarmo. I submitted a request for enhancement in SR1-83412302 to add this to the bash CLI prompt if the user switches to a non-default route domain. Aaron

RD ID in the CLI prompt

If you have ever wondered, which RD are you in (when working in the command line and switching between Route Domains using rdsh), add the following to your /etc/bashrc

getRD()

{

rd=''

if [ -n "$TMOS_RD" ]; then

rd="%$TMOS_RD"

echo "$rd"

}

and update the PS1 variable definition according to your taste. For example

PS1='[$USER@$(getHostName):$(getPromptStatus)$(getAvcCount)$(getRD)] \W \$ '

The Route Domain ID will be shown in the prompt, like this

[admin@bigip:Active%2] config
