78 APPENDIX C: 3COM DMI AGENT INSTALLATION
The content of the MIF is based on the capabilities of the
NIC driver found in the PC. For example, if a NIC with an
MBA boot ROM is found, all groups related to the boot
ROM are included in the MIF for that particular NIC. This
ensures that the network management application does
not receive irrelevant information for the NIC.
For a description of each MIF that is supported by the
3Com DMI Agent, see the 3Com DMI Agent User Guide
included with the 3Com DMI Agent software.
