Hi Joe,

The APU2 is not a TAP, it is a standard pc. Ntopng runs inside the APU2 itself. If you need a monitoring solution based on a TAP, you will need to do the TAP aggregation separately and then feed the aggregated traffic through a single APU2 port.

Please note that you can install ntopng on any standard pc with at least one NIC. We use the APU2 for a different task, which is to intercept packets being forwarded from one network interface to another to monitor and possibly shape/drop them. This is why we have are interested in a board with multiple NICs.

Regards,
Emanuele

Hello Forum

In the interesting Sharkfest paper the pcengines board APU2 is mentioned.


Is the APU2 like an aggregation TAP (2 port for the traffic and one monitor port which forwardes the traces to ntopng?


Thank's a lot!

Joe
