So I want to use my Linux box to monitor network activity. Do I absolutely need
to have the box be like a router that the other computers connect to or is just
being on the network suitable to act as a server. In the past I've done routing
but if I don't need to route in order to monitor, manage, and log network
activity, that's awesome. Also, anyone know of how to do those three acts on
opensuse 10.2 or of any third party software that will do that? Thanks all.
If you're using it to monitor network activity, it has to be able to see
that activity. This means that if you're simply plugged into one port
of a switch, you won't see much, unless that port can be configured to
mirror other ports.
