Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 What are BACS2 and BASP?

Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS2) is an integrated utility that provides
useful information about each Broadcom network adapter that is installed in your
server. BACS2 also enables you to perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analyses
on each adapter, as well as to view and modify property values and view traffic
statistics.
Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP), which runs within Broadcom
Advanced Control Suite 2, is used to configure teams for load balancing, fault
tolerance, and virtual local area networks (VLANs). BASP functionality is available
only on servers that use at least one Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
