AT-2931SX BASP Extensible- agent

The AT-2931SX 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 AT-2931SX adapter, such as:

ˆMAC address

ˆbound IP address

ˆIP subnet mask

ˆphysical link status

ˆadapter state

ˆline speed

ˆduplex mode

ˆmemory range

ˆinterrupt setting

ˆbus number

ˆdevice number

ˆfunction number

To monitor the information listed above, a SNMP manager needs to load the MIB file.

The monitored workstation requires the installation of the AT-2931SX Broadcom SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll, and requires the Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 SNMP service to be installed and loaded.
