libpcap doesn't differentiate between the various logical interfaces, it's
at the level of the physical one (try tcpdump -i eth0:0 -c 5 for example).
Since libpcap doesn't differentiate, ntop can't.

Since it will see the traffic, ntop adds any virtual addresses
automatically.  So if you specify -i eth0, you get eth0:0 ...eth0:7.

Subject: [Ntop] Ntop, netflow virtual interface


I'm running ntop 2.2c on Redhat 9 and have a question about the
configuration of the virtual netflow interface.
I have configured a virtual interface eth0:1 on the subnet I want to monitor
flows to/from.  I'm assuming this is the correct network for that interface.
I then specified the IP address and netmask  of that interface on the
Netflow statistics config page.  I restarted netflow and specified eth0 and
eth0:1 with the -i parameter.
The problem occurs when I attempt to "switch NIC".  The only option
available is eth0 and eth0:1 is not listed.
Have I configured the virtual interface incorrectly?
Thank you.
