Monitoring Multi-Instance Setup

show system detail

This FXOS command shows the current mode, Native or Container. If the mode is Native (also known as appliance mode), you can convert to multi-instance (Container) mode. Note that the prompt/name in multi-instance mode is generic "firepower-<model>" while the prompt in appliance mode is the hostname you set for the threat defense (by default "firepower")
