I don't think there's any support for ISL.  The support I'm aware of is for
802.1q.  Which isn't to say that ISL couldn't be added ...

Try doing a couple of tcpdump or ethereal traces on the link.  See what you
see.  But based on what I read this weekend about ISL encapsulation, ntop
should treat it as non-IP other traffic.

Subject: [Ntop] Monitoring a router trunk port



Hi, does it make sense to monitor the interface of a
router which is configured as a ISL trunk port routing
between multiple VLANs?

The other option is to have a NIC for each VLAN I want
to monitor with NTOP and was wondering if I could just
monitor the trunk port of the router.  I guess Im
wondering what exactly NTOP would see and this may be
more of a networking thing I will have to read up on
but was just wondering if there was functionality
built in NTOP that would enable NTOP to function on a
trunk port.

I do not currently have this setup to test so that is
why I ask ... Im just planning ahead :)

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
