just to show i do RTM: Apparently you can monitor a Switch Port. Now, my server is indeed connected to a switch, and I have a spare NIC in the machine that I could use exclusively for this single VM (using bridging or a virtual network)
What sort of specs does such a Swith Port have (as in, do i need a special switch, or can i use the current CNET one) And will that bridged/virtual NIC be able to monitor the traffic? rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Be a professional website builder: www.easysites.ug On Tuesday 11 August 2009 15:44:37 Reinier Battenberg wrote: > Hi, > > I am running several VMs on one machine, using openvz (that was a LUG tip > 100 years ago, its wonderful) > > Each VM has a public IP, and generates traffic, all of a different nature. > (DNS, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, WWW, OPENARENA etc.) > > I would like 1 interface to monitor all traffic.
