Chapter 2: Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS 2) Applications
Overview
The Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS 2) application is an integrated application (with a graphical user interface) that provides useful information about each network adapter that is installed in your computer. The BACS application also enables you to perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analyses on each adapter, as well as view traffic statistics and set configuration options for each adapter, as shown in Figure 1. The BACS application is designed to run on the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 operating systems.
The Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP) application, which runs within BACS, is used to configure load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual local area networks (VLANs). This application is available only on computers that use more than one network adapter.
