The counters that I'm looking to see are mainly to monitor switches and the
like. I'm dealing with some hardware that modifies MAC addresses (and set
their own) but keep the original IP addresses. So, in order to see how much
bandwidth each section sends/receives, i need to only look at MACs... (This
is a question that i want to answer : how much bandwidth goes thorugh each
link)

 Describe "monitor"?  Unless you're in a really old or unique environment,
TCP/IP is your layer 3 / 4 protocol so it's highly relevant.  Give me an
example of what data you want or what problem you're trying to resolve and
I'll see if I can help.

*Subject:* [Ntop] MAC Address based summaries?



Hello

I would like to deploy ntop in a certain environment in which i want to
monitor mainly switches and hubs. This means that for my purposes, IP
addresses are of no importance, while mac addresses are the one i want to
monitor. I have not been able to configure ntop to ignore IP traffic when
summarizing hosts, and to use just physical addresses.

Is it possible to configure ntop to do this or am i looking at the wrong
solution for my needs? If the latter, any ideas for a more appropriate
solution?

Thanks!
