Check Text (C-217336r1015748_chk)

Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement. The configuration example below depicts a class JR_ENGINEER that is not permitted to add or change software installed on the router. login { class JR_ENGINEER { permissions all; deny-commands "request system software"; } Note: The following are the options under request system software: abort -Abort software upgrade add -Add extension or upgrade package delete -Remove extension or upgrade package rollback -Roll back to previous set of packages validate -Verify package compatibility with current configuration If the router is not configured to prohibit installation of software without explicit privileged status, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-18561r296587_fix)

Configure one or more classes as shown in the example below whose users will not be permitted to add or change software installed on the router. [edit system] set login class JR_ENGINEER permissions all set login class JR_ENGINEER deny-commands “(request system software)” Note: The predefined classes operator and Read-only do not have permissions to install software.
