Hi Kaya, I suggest you use an OS that is supported by ntop. I would
recommend you use Ubuntu server 12. You will also need to generate netflow
traffic which can be done by a Cisco router/switch. Alternatively you can
use Luca's nprobe.
Ubuntu server doesn't support his architecture (sparc64), but Debian
does and packages exist for that architecture for Debian testing.

Hi guys,
thanks for the suggestions however, I need OpenBSD due to it's ultra
security and routing/firewall/gateway capabilities.
The long story short is that I have a Cisco 1801W router which is was
using as WAN gateway which kept crashing due to 7000+ NAT translations
going on inside the box, additionally inter-vlan routing performance is
awful on the device and can't do wirespeed - round 50Mbps is max.
In order to stop getting "out of memory" errors on the Cisco I added an
old Sun Netra T105 into the mix and connected it to my Cisco 877W being
used as a transparent ATM bridge (dumb ADSL modem).
The Netra is now doing PPPoE, NAT/PAT, Firewall with Packet Filter and
redistributing the 'default' route (0.0.0.0/0) via OSPF E1.
This is basically a precursor to a much more powerful 10GigE capable
router which I am planning build out of server components of which in
fact the chassis will arrive next week.
My issue from above is that Debian won't do those things naturally, I
will need to install Quagga for routing which is limited and not sure if
IPtables supports NAT/PAT, then there's the PPPoE dilemma etc.....
The closest one can come with Linux is Vyatta but that is only available
for x86/64 systems.
My only two options to do what I need are Open or NetBSD.
I guess I am just going to have to mirror one of the ports on the router
and then build a separate FreeBSD box to take care of Ntop ( I was
originally going to use it as an SNMP monitoring solution using one of
Zenoss, Cacti, Zabbix, Munin etc..) but can just FreeBSD-Jail Ntop and
give it a separate IP.... it seems the only logical solution! -- excuse
the reluctance to run Linux I do like the platform but prefer FreeBSD
for 'everyday' applications where I **can** get away with it as there
are just some things of FreeBSD which I cannot live without!
Regards,
Kaya
