NSTALLATION

The content of the MIF is based on the capabilities of the 
NIC driver found in the PC. For example, if a NIC with an 
MBA boot ROM is found, all groups related to the boot 
ROM are included in the MIF for that particular NIC. This 
ensures that the network management application does 
not receive irrelevant information for the NIC.

For a description of each MIF that is supported by the 
3Com DMI Agent, see the 3Com DMI Agent User Guide 
included with the 3Com DMI Agent software.

This section lists the client PC and network management 
requirements for installing and using the 3Com DMI Agent.
