This doens't help, no trafic at all are seem. If I look inside the sFlow
plugin page, I can see this at the end of the page:

Number of Flows with Bad Data   0
Total Number of Flows Processed 0

The sFlow Interface Statistics appears correctly.
It's look like the plugins work and receive data from the switch but Ntop
doesn't procced them.
