Gerard,

You may try to enable disaggregation by VLAN id. Please check out https://www.ntop.org/guides/ntopng/advanced_features/dynamic_interfaces_disaggregation.html .

If you still have traffic duplication troubles, please send us a pcap file with some Netflow traffic to replay in our lab. Please contact me privately for this and I'll send you instructions.

Regards,

Emanuele

Hi,

In an attempt to fix the issues I mentioned a few days ago, I am trying to validate the theory that nprobe and/or ntopng are doubling up flows due to certain traffic (not all traffic) passes through our equipment twice on different VLANs. When looking at the flows in ntopng, I see two flows for everything. They only difference is the VLAN; source IP, dest IP, packets, bytes, speed, etc are all identical as expected.

Some posts online suggest there are ways to ignore VLANs and I have tried the following.

In /etc/nprobe/nprobe.conf:

-p=0/1/1/1/0/0/0

In /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf:

--ignore-vlans=

Perhaps the options don’t function as I assumed they would. At any rate, the end result is that ntopng still shows duplicate flows and the list under Hosts -> VLANs continues to populate with data.

Here are the entire nprobe and ntopng configuration files. I am not able to spot a typo such as a missing ‘=’ that would might cause a line to be interpreted as the option to the line right above it. Maybe I’ve overlooked something.

nprobe.conf

-i=none

-n=none

-3=2055

--zmq=tcp://127.0.0.1:5556

-T="@NTOPNG@"

-V=9

--idle-timeout=30

--lifetime-timeout=600

--disable-cache=

--enable-ipv4-deduplication=

--verbose=1

-p=0/1/1/1/0/0/0

--local-networks=10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16,208.118.68.0/24,208.118.95.34/32

--local-traffic-direction=

ntopng.conf

-G=/var/run/ntopng.pid

-i=tcp://127.0.0.1:5556

--local-networks="10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16,208.118.68.0/24,208.118.95.34/32"

--ignore-vlans=
