Thank you mnovak!!! but prompt1 not working properly for me and tried below things in my system… seenu# prompt1 “\u@\s” seenu# conf Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. seenu(config)# exit seenu# prompt2 “\u@\s” seenu# conf Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. secadmin@10.220.22.101eixt ----------------------^ syntax error: unknown command secadmin@10.220.22.101exit seenu# prompt1 “HI” seenu# conf Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. secadmin@10.220.22.101exit seenu# seenu# seenu# I have hidden few operational commands(autowizard,complete-on-space,devtools,output-file,paginate,send,terminal,write) by using clispec file. ---

Not sure if it is done by your modification, I have tried the steps above and it works OK ```bash # prompt1 "\u@\s " admin@127.0.0.1 prompt2 "\u@\s " admin@127.0.0.1 config Entering configuration mode terminal admin@127.0.0.1 exit admin@127.0.0.1 admin@127.0.0.1 prompt1 "HI " HI config Entering configuration mode terminal admin@127.0.0.1 exit HI ``` I have added space after prompt text to easily read, but even without that is looks OK. Can it be by your modification? Can you try it just with plain ConfD without your modifications? Start like this (use `confd.conf` from one of examples coming with ConfD): ```bash ${CONFD_DIR}/bin/confd -c confd.conf --addloadpath ${CONFD_DIR}/etc/confd ${CONFD_DIR}/bin/confd_cli -C --user=admin --groups=admin --interactive ```
