The Broadcom SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll, is designed for the Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 SNMP service. The software requires that a Windows 2000 SNMP service is installed before installing the extensible-agent.
The extensible-agent allows the SNMP manager software to actively monitor the configurations of the Interface Card. 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 an Allied Telesyn 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 the information listed above, a SNMP manager needs to load the MIB file.
The monitored workstation requires the installation of the Broadcom SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll, and requires that the Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 SNMP service be installed and loaded.
