Preface

This guide contains instructions on how to install and use the Broadcom
Advanced Control Suite 3 for Ethernet Network adapters.

The Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS 3) is an integrated utility
that provides useful information about each network adapter that is
installed in your system. BACS 3 also enables you to perform detailed
tests, diagnostics, and analyses on each adapter, as well as to display and
modify property values and display traffic statistics for each adapter.

The Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP), which runs within
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3, is used to configure teams for load
balancing, fault tolerance, and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs).
BASP functionality is available only on systems that use at least one
Broadcom network adapter.
