Logging into the web-interface of the switch (assuming it is a managed
switch) and flipping through the options screens will quickly tell you
if it will allow you to monitor/duplicate a port.

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?

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. Ntop comes to mind.
But, I am not running OpenVZ for nothing, and I want to run as little as
possible on the host machine, and as much as possible on VMs.
Is there any way to have NTOP running on a VM and still see all the data
that goes through the physical NIC?
