BASP Extensible-Agent
The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Controller Extended Information SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll, is designed for
Windows Server 2008 SNMP service.
The extensible-agent allows the SNMP manager software to actively monitor the configurations of the Broadcom NetXtreme
adapter. It is intended to supplement the information already provided by the standard SNMP Management Network Interface
information.
The extensible-agent provides in-depth information about a Broadcom NetXtreme adapter such as:
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, a SNMP manager needs to load the Broadcom Extended information MIB file to allow monitoring
of the information described above. This file, bcmif.mib, is included on the Broadcom NetXtreme adapter installation CD.
The monitored workstation requires the installation of the Broadcom Extended Information SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll,
and requires the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SNMP service to be installed and loaded.
