Fortress ES-Series CLI Guide: Mesh Point CLI and Administrative Access
9
If the administrative account you are logging on to requires the
password to be changed, you must do so before you can
proceed and then log on again with the new password to gain
access through the account.
As shown, if the first password entry fails the complexity check,
the Mesh Point CLI automatically displays the password
requirements in effect on the Mesh Point. Administrative
password rules are global and configurable (refer to Section
2.2.1).

If the account you try to log on to has an active administrative
session in progress, the Mesh Point queries your intent:
ES-00148c081080 Login: admin
Password:
Warning! This account already has an active session. Would you like to end the other session
or cancel this login? [ endsession | cancel ] endsession
The command prompt reflects whether the role of the account
you are logged on to grants view-only privileges (
maintenance
and
logviewer) or full administrator-level privileges.
Accounts with view-only roles use the angle-bracket prompt:
>
.
The hash prompt:
#
indicates that you are logged on to an
administrator-level account.
