It's a good idea, especially if you are monitoring outside of a firewall.  ntop can connect data through an unnumbered interface (no IP assigned), which limits the possibility of attacking ntop through that interface.

Subject: [Ntop] installation

I have downloaded NTOP and I am installing it in my network. When installing network devices on a Cisco network I usually have to put the port into Monitor (SPAN) mode. Does NTOP require one port for gathering data and another for administration?
