Management Controller Enablement This section outlines the steps required to configure and enable DASH management from the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet controller. Broadcom provides a general-purpose tool for setting and configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet controller through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) as part of the TruManage™ 12.4 software package. All of these examples require access to WMI. They can be performed locally on a computer system, but the scripts are designed to run remotely as well. The examples will be from the point-of-view of an Administrator executing a task targeted at a remote PC named "remotePC" specified using the syntax: -remote:RemotePC from the command line. In addition the Broadcom script supports specification of the WMI connection user account with the following syntax: -user: -password:. Enabling the Administrator account The following command will enable the default administrator account on the DASH management device and use the password specified via the command line. Once the administrator account is enabled, you can use any DASH management console to manage user accounts and roles.

Management Controller Enablement
This section outlines the steps required to configure and enable DASH management
from the Broadcom
NetXtreme™
Gigabit Ethernet controller.
Broadcom provides a general-purpose tool for setting and configuring the
Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet controller through Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI) as part of
the TruManage™ 12.4 software package.
All of these examples require access to WMI. They can be performed locally on a
computer system, but the scripts are designed to run remotely as well.
The
examples will be from the point-of-view of an Administrator executing a task
targeted at a remote PC named “remotePC” specified using the syntax:
-remote:RemotePC
from the command line.
In addition the Broadcom script
supports specification of the WMI connection user account with the following
syntax:
-user:<UserID> -password:<Password>
.
Enabling the Administrator account
The following command will enable the default administrator account on the DASH
management device and use the password specified via the command line.
Once
the administrator account is enabled, you can use any DASH management console
to manage user accounts and roles.
