Chapter 9: Installing CIM and SNMP for Manageability
130
The extensible-agent allows the SNMP manager software to actively
monitor the configurations of the Broadcom NetXtreme II adapter. It
supplements the information already provided by the standard SNMP
Management Network Interface information.
The extensible-agent provides in-depth information about a Broadcom
NetXtreme II adapter including:
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 this information, an SNMP manager needs to load the
Broadcom Extended information MIB file to allow monitoring of the
information listed above. See the following procedure.
The monitored workstation requires the installation of the Broadcom
Extended Information SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll, and requires the
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows
Server 2008 R2 SNMP service to be installed and loaded.
