CLI mode switch failed warning on Cisco FMC discovery
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2026 6:14 pm
Good afternoon.
I'm setting up Unimus to backup the configs of my switches, FTD devices, etc and so far it's all working beautifully.
I was hoping to add our Cisco FMC as well, but it is failing discovery and I'm not sure what, if anything, I can do to get past the error I am being given.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
