Hi Michael,

 

Bash shell is controlled by $PS1 variable, so first checks the content of this variable and change the value .

thanks for your feedback, Lidev :)

I haven't inspected yet the $PS1 variable in our F5 load balancer, but anyway...

 

Its original CLI prompt somehow got restored, after I recently upgraded its OS version.

 

I'll keep in mind your tip about the $PS1 variable, in case I encounter again this CLI prompt problem. :)
