SNMP
BASP Subagent
The BASP subagent, baspmgnt.dll, is designed for Windows Server 2008 SNMP service. It is required to install
the SNMP service before installing the BASP subagent.
The BASP subagent allows an SNMP manager software to actively monitor the configurations 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 for 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 at this time. The BASP configuration data includes information such as team IDs,
physical/virtual/VLAN/team adapter IDs, physical/virtual/VLAN/team/ adapter descriptions, and 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 physical adapter link up/down, and adapter installed/removed events.
To monitor this information, an SNMP manager must load the Broadcom BASP MIB database files to allow
monitoring of the information described above. These files, which are shown below, are included with the driver
source media:
baspcfg.mib
baspstat.mib
basptrap.mib
BASP Extensible-Agent
The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Controller Extended Information SNMP extensible-agent, bcmif.dll,
is designed for Windows Server SNMP service.
The extensible-agent allows the SNMP manager software to actively monitor the configurations of the
Broadcom NetXtreme adapter. 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 a Broadcom NetXtreme adapter such as:
• MAC address
• Bound IP address
• IP subnet mask
• Physical link status
• Adapter state
• Line speed
