Chapter 9: Installing CIM and SNMP for Manageability

128

The extensible-agent allows the SNMP manager software to actively 
monitor the configurations of the Broadcom NetXtreme II adapter. It 
supplements the information already provided by the standard SNMP 
Management Network Interface information. 

The extensible-agent provides in-depth information about a Broadcom 
NetXtreme II adapter including: 



MAC address 



Bound IP address 



IP subnet mask 



Physical link status 



Adapter state 



Line speed 



Duplex mode 



Memory range 



Interrupt setting 



Bus number 



Device number 



Function number 

To monitor this information, an SNMP manager needs to load the 
Broadcom Extended information MIB file to allow monitoring of the 
information listed above. See the following procedure.

The monitored workstation requires the installation of the Broadcom 
Extended Information SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll, and requires the 
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 
Server 2008 R2 SNMP service to be installed and loaded. 

By default, the BACS utility does not load the SNMP libraries. You need to 
select this option.

To load the SNMP libraries on your PC, do the following:

1. Download the BACS utility from the Allied Telesis website.

This utility is available from the www.alliedtelesis.com/support/
software website. After you have accessed this website, enter the 
model number in the Search by Product Name box and click Find to 
view the current list of available files. 

2. Download BACS onto your PC.

3. On your PC, open the InstallShield.
