I upgraded to the most recent ntop and have a couple of issues; 

RH 7.1
ntop  v.2.0.0 MT (SSL) [i686-pc-linux-gnu] 
./ntop -P /var/log/ntop -m 172.19.0.0/16 -w 3000 -E -S 1 -r 60 -u ntop -d 

? Ntop Issues ?

1. IP Traffic Matrix shows no data, at all.
2. using -p with a custom protocol listing appends to the default table

Issues that are specific to me, hoping someone can offer some assistance
here.

I am collecting data, but not all, not by far.
Monitoring station is connected to a 3com 3300xm vlan enabled switch. All
main servers and router are connected to this in order for me to monitor the
traffic. 
The file server does not show any active connections even though all clients
map to it. This and the mail server "should" be the most active yet the only
data i show for our mail (Exchange) server is notification mail that is sent
from the monitoring box, which uses exchange as its relay. I understand that
exchange uses port 135 and rpc based app for it's functions. Does anyone
have a way to track this?
Another example would be that i ftp from my workstation to an outside site.
To get there the traffic is going through the router (3640) out the firewall
and back. 
All traffic on this lan goes through this router, it is connected to the
switch in question, ntop should pick this traffic up, should it not??
Same thing for http traffic, it all goes to our proxy, again on the switch.
But no traffic is being seen from/to the proxy, this should also be heavy.

I need some clarification on working with ntop within a switched
environment. I don't understand why i am getting so little data.

Thanks for any and all help.

Cheers,

Stuart
