15.13 Setting the LegacyBootProto Attribute
The SetAttribute() method is used to set or change the value of a NIC attribute.
WARNING: The local BIOS setting always overwrites the LegacyBootProto option. This option is only
applied in the BIOS setup. By setting this attribute remotely, it appears that the value is set, but it
really did not because the local BIOS setting overrides it. Running a ‘get’ on the attribute remotely
displays a different current value.
Invoke SetAttribute() with the following parameters(from Section 15.1) and syntax:
Target: FQDD attained through DCIM_NICEnumeration
AttributeName: Attained from AttributeName field
AttributeValue: A new value to assign to the specified NICAttribute. If this value is valid, it
will be applied to the PendingValue property or the Currentvalue property of the specified
NICAttribute. Possible choices are attained from PossibleValues field, such as:
Possible values: PXE, iSCSI, NONE
EXAMPLE:
winrm i SetAttribute http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_NICService
?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem
