Sometimes the easiest thing to do is buy (beg, steal) a 4 port hub and plug the uplink port of the switch into it, as well as the ntop box (or snort, or whatever) and the other end of the connection. This will get you all of the traffic that is inbound and outbound (but not cross traffic on the switch). Plus it is very cheap. 4 port hubs are generally less then $20. That should at least allow you (your boss) to get a better idea of whats going on and evaluate if it is worth getting a better switch. -- Mike Tremaine [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stellarcore.net _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
