Chapter 9: Installing CIM and SNMP for Manageability

Loading the SNMP Libraries

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.

By default, the BACS utility does not load the SNMP libraries. You need to select this option.
