Installing SNMP

BASP Subagent

BASP Extensible- Agent

The BASP version of SNMP has two components that are described in the following sections:

“BASP Subagent” on page 127

“BASP Extensible-Agent” on page 127

The BASP subagent, baspmgnt.dll, is designed for the Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 platforms. You must install the SNMP service before installing the BASP subagent.

The BASP subagent allows an SNMP manager software to actively monitor the configuration and performance of the Broadcom Advanced Server features. The subagent also provides an alarm trap to an SNMP manager to inform the manager of any changes to the conditions of the BASP component.

The BASP subagent allows monitoring of the configurations and statistics of the BASP teams, the physical NIC adapters participating in a team, and the virtual NIC adapters created as the result of teaming. Non-teamed NIC adapters are not monitored. The BASP configuration data includes information such as team IDs, physical-virtual-VLAN-team adapter IDs, physical-virtual-VLAN-team adapter descriptions, and the MAC addresses of the adapters.

The statistics include detailed information such as data packets transmitted and received for the physical-virtual-VLAN-team adapters.

The alarm trap forwards information about the changes in configuration of the physical adapters participating in a team, such as whether or not the physical adapter link is up or down and each time the adapter is installed or removed.

To monitor this information, an SNMP manager must load the Broadcom BASP MIB database files to allow monitoring of the information described above. The following files are posted on the Allied Telesis web site:

baspcfg.mib

baspstat.mib

basptrap.mib

The Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Controller Extended Information SNMP extensible-agent (bcmif.dll) is designed for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SNMP service. You must install the Windows 2000 Server SNMP service before installing the extensible-agent.
