listed in the Team Management pane, then click the Statistics tab.

Configuring With the Command Line Interface Utility
An alternate method to BACS for configuring Broadcom network adapters is with BACSCLI, which is a Broadcom utility that allows
you to view information and configure network adapters using a console in either a non-interactive command line interface (CLI)
mode or an interactive mode. As with BACS, BACSCLI provides information about each network adapter, and enables you to perform
detailed tests, run diagnostics, view statistics, and modify property values. BACSCLI also allows you the ability to team network
adapters together for load balancing and failover.
For a complete list of available commands and examples, see the BACSCLI ReadMe text file on the Dell-provided CD.
On a system with Broadcom NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II network adapters, BACSCLI is installed when BACS is installed with the
installer.
Troubleshooting BACS
Problem: When attempting to open BACS on a Linux System, the following error message displays:
"Another instance of the BACS client appears to be running on this system. Only one instance of the BACS client can be running
at a time. If you are sure that no other BACS client is running, then a previous instance may have quit unexpectedly."
Solution: This message displays if you try to run a second instance of BACS. If you receive this message but are certain that no
instance of BACS is currently running, a previous instance of BACS may have quit unexpectedly. To clear that instance, remove the
file "/dev/shm/sem.Global-BACS-{C50398EE-84A7-4bc3-9F6E-25A69603B9C0}."
