5 Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS2)

This chapter explains the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS2).

5.1BACS2 Overview

BACS2 is an integrated utility that provides useful information about each network adapter that is installed in your system. BACS2 also enables you to perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analyses on each adapter, as well as to view and modify property values and view traffic statistics for each adapter.

BACS2 contains three panes:

•In the Information/Task pane, users can view available information and perform certain tests, diag- nostics, and analysis on a selected device by clicking a specific tab.

•To the left of the Information/Task pane is the Device Name pane, which lists the names of the individual network adapters and the individual members of teams that have been created.

•A third pane contains the Menu bar.

Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP), which runs within Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS2), is used in Expert Mode to configure teams for load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual local area networks (VLANs). The Teaming Wizard can also be used to configure teams and VLANs. BASP functionality is available only on systems that use at least one network adapter.

`Link aggregation is not supported in the Blade Server.
