Configuring With the Command Line Interface Utility An alternate method to BACS 3 for configuring Broadcom network adapters is with BACSCLI, which is a Broadcom utility that allows you to view information and configure network adapters using a console in either a non-interactive command line interface (CLI) mode or an interactive mode. As with BACS 3, BACSCLI provides information about each network adapter, and enables you to perform detailed tests, run diagnostics, view statistics, and modify property values. BACSCLI also allows you the ability to team network adapters together for load balancing and failover. For a complete list of available commands and examples, see the BACSCLI ReadMe text file on the Dell-provided CD. Supported Operating Systems
