Installing SNMP

The BASP version of SNMP has two components that are described in the
following sections:

“BASP Subagent” on page 127

“BASP Extensible-Agent” on page 127

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.
