Installed on Opensuse 10.3 Installed ntop and rrdtool 2 NICs – One for the PC and one for the span IP address on PC –NIC set to my management vlan IP address on Span card – 127.0.0.3 to vlan to the world Set Cisco switch to monitor the vlan connection to the world from the 127.0.0.3 port rrd and structure was not created during the installation. Created the following directory structure /etc/lib/ntop/rrd /etc/lib/ntop/rrd/flows /etc/lib/ntop/rrd/graphic /etc/lib/ntop/rrd/interfaces Not sure what permissions were necessary. Because of permission errors in loading ntop, I reset the permissions on the directory structure. chmod rrd –R 777 (not sure on this one. I’m a novice or not quite a novice and don’t have the syntax readily available) Set the ownership to wwwrun on all the directories using “chown” utility. Set the group membership to www on all the directories using “chgrp” utility. Saved a backup copy of /etc/sysconfig/ntop and named it ntop.backup Edited /etc/sysconfig/ntop to point to “eth1” and 127.0.0.3 Ntop web interface is up and working on the local machine. Website is http://127.0.0.3:3000 Load plugins for graphincs by clicking on Plugins and selecting which ones you want. SO. Heres a start at documentation!!! Next is to set up the user’s, remote access. THEN saving the data.

One with an IP address “eth0” and one without for listening “eth1”. Have tried /etc/init.d/ntop start –I eth1 /etc/init.d/ntop start –M –I eth1 And multiple variations. Nothing loads the second nic for ntop. Plugins loaded and not loaded. Same result. Listening port is set to listen to the port going OUT of the building. On the same Cisco 3750 switch. Wireshark does work and is able to “see” the 2nd NIC. Any help would be appreciated . . . . and I’ll tempt you with doing some documentation for a novice Ntop user!!!
