Check Text (C-202105r984110_chk)

Determine if the network device prohibits installation of software without explicit privileged status. This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration review. If installation of software is not prohibited without explicit privileged status, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-2232r381945_fix)

Configure the network device to prohibit installation of software without explicit privileged status.
