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.
