restoring the CLI prompt

I was experimenting on a CLI command (shown below) for saving the config of an F5 load balancer. It had the unexpected effect of somehow changing the CLI prompt:     [root@SI-RTER-BAS02-DCLB-...

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. :)
