You've missed the point - without configuring your network to send all the
traffic to ntop, you won't see it. That's true of EVERY network tool.
That's why I pointed you to the articles in docs/FAQ, which discuss how
Ethernet works and how switched networks work.

That is what I thought but I wasn't sure if NTOP was just a passive
monitoring tool or if it had some active features I was not aware of.
I will keep looking.
Thanks for the replies.

Unless I misunderstood your question, the issue is one of general
networking. Ntop can't report on traffic that it doesn't see -- and it
wouldn't see all by default in a switched environment.
Investigate network taps or even span ports.

Hi,
I have searched the archive and really haven't found a good answer to my
simple question. I apologize if this question is a problem, but I have
looked at all the available documents and haven't read an answer.
Anyway, my question is this. I see that Ntop can run as a host, border
gateway, or sniffer. I just want to analyze traffic on our switched 192
network and wanted to know what commands I have to enter at runtime to
make ntop see all the traffice on the network, or do I have to put it on
a box that is a gateway?
Thanks in advance.
