Installing SNMP 
The BASP version of SNMP has two components that are described in the 
following sections:
BASP Subagent
The BASP subagent, baspmgnt.dll, is designed for the Windows Server 
2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 platforms. 
You must install the SNMP service before installing the BASP subagent. 
The BASP subagent allows an SNMP manager software to actively 
monitor the configuration and performance of the Broadcom Advanced 
Server features. The subagent also provides an alarm trap to an SNMP 
manager to inform the manager of any changes to the conditions of the 
BASP component. 
The BASP subagent allows monitoring of the configurations and statistics 
of the BASP teams, the physical NIC adapters participating in a team, and 
the virtual NIC adapters created as the result of teaming. Non-teamed NIC 
adapters are not monitored. The BASP configuration data includes 
information such as team IDs, physical-virtual-VLAN-team adapter IDs, 
physical-virtual-VLAN-team adapter descriptions, and the MAC addresses 
of the adapters. 
The statistics include detailed information such as data packets 
transmitted and received for the physical-virtual-VLAN-team adapters. 
The alarm trap forwards information about the changes in configuration of 
the physical adapters participating in a team, such as whether or not the 
physical adapter link is up or down and each time the adapter is installed 
or removed. 
To monitor this information, an SNMP manager must load the Broadcom 
BASP MIB database files to allow monitoring of the information described 
above. The following files are posted on the Allied Telesis web site:
baspcfg.mib 
baspstat.mib 
basptrap.mib
BASP Extensible-
Agent
The Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Controller Extended 
Information SNMP extensible-agent (bcmif.dll) is designed for Windows 
Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SNMP 
service. You must install the Windows 2000 Server SNMP service before 
installing the extensible-agent.
