Subject: [Ntop-dev] Ntop man issue + WAN question


Hello,
In Ntop's man page, we have :
ntop   [EMAIL PROTECTED]   [-a|--access-log-path  <path>]  [-b|--disable-decoders]
[-c|--sticky-hosts]  [-f|--traffic-dump-file  file>]
       [-g|--track-local-hosts]   [-h|--help]
[-k|--filter-expression-in-extra-frame]   [-l|--pcap-log   <path>]
[-m|--local-subnets
       <addresses>] [-n|--numeric-ip-addresses] [-o|--no-mac]
[-p|--protocols <list>] [-q|--create-suspicious-packets] [-r|--refresh-time
       <number>] [-s|--no-promiscuous] [-t|--trace-level <number>]
[-w|--http-server  <port>]  [-z|--disable-sessions]  [-A|--set-admin-
       password   password]  [-B|--filter-expression  expression]
[-C|--large-network]  [-D|--domain  <name>]  [-F|--flow-spec  <specs>]
       [-M|--no-interface-merge] [-O|----output-packet-path]
[-P|--db-file-path <path>] [-R|--filter-rule <file>] <number>]  [-U|--mapper
       <URL>]  [-V|--version] [--throughput-bar-chart]
[--dynamic-purge-limits] [--reuse-rrd-graphics] [--p3p-cp] [--p3p-uri]
[--disable-
       stopcap]
and then a description of every option individually.
Every ? No ! At least on my Ntop 2.2, there is no description for
[-R|--filter-rule <file>] <number>].
Neither is there in http://www.ntop.org/ntop-man.html...

Another question : I need to set a different pcap filter on each interface.
How can I do that (in the man, nothing makes me think that -B would handle
such a thing) ?
If the answer is "you can't", maybe you guys will have an idea about how to
solve my problem :
    I have a WAN with 4 remote sites. The traffic arrives at my site on an
(operator) router, and then goes into a switch (where I can then do port
mirroring to grab all the traffic from that router and feed it into my ntop
box). The thing is I need distinct (not merged) ntop stats for each site...
The constraints are :
    - I have only one box on which to run ntop. This is a Linux box with a
2.4 kernel and my ntop is version 2.2
    - I can have up to 5 NICs on that box.
    - The only hardware I can have besides my box is a hub and RJ45 cables.
    - I need to have full ntop stats, for each site, separately and
simultaneously.
What I thought I'd do is mirror all the traffic on 1 port, plug this port
into a hub, plug 4 of my machine's NICs into that hub, and then define a
different filter on each NIC : eth1 has a filter that selects traffic only
from/to remote site 1, eth2 has a filter  that selects traffic from/to
remote site 2, and so on... Then start ntop with -M and I'd have the stats I
want by switching between NICs in the Admin Tab...
Any other idea ?
Thank you
Lo�c
