In a nutshell: If you want to monitor all outgoing traffic to the net, but the ntop box right behind the gateway/edge router.
If you want to monitor internal to internal traffic, you have some work ahead of you with port spanning with your switches.

I guess a way to see our network traffic would be to turn Netflow on our routers right? If so if we tuned on Netflow on our Cisco routers does anyone know if we would point all our routers to a single central Ntop install, or would we need a NTop install at each site? -------- Yup. Try reading docs/FAQ - there are articles on switched networks and SPAN port. Also read the back traffic on this issue - we discuss it quite frequently w/ new users. _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
