FTD CLI - Display the FTD active/standby unit in the hostname

[SHABEEB KUNHIPOCKER]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any enhancement done to display the FTD active/standby unit in the hostname of the respective FTD CLI. In the ASA we have the command "prompt hostname priority state cisco ftd". Can we do anything similar in FTD?.

Thanks

how is this device managed by , FMC, FMC can show you device, which one active and standby. FTD have less command level since everything managed by FMC most case, so less interaction with FTD.

If you like to know show failover or  show high-availability config  or show failover state -  can show you that command level what is device acting as.

You can contact cisco TAC or BU for  your wish list.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your reply. The device is managed by FMC. So you mean to say that currently there is no option to display failover state in the hostname of the FTD from the CLI right ?.

Since FTD only show you command prompt as >  (unlike ASA show different)

Just to clarify it will give you information show you issue show failover what is the device acting as, i have post other commands on old post to verify.

The "prompt hostname priority state" command does not seem to be part of the blacklisted command in the FMC FlexConfig. You can try creating a FlexConfig policy to push that command to the FTDs.
