Hi-

I am trying to get a handle on traffic on a network, which has some
old-osh equipment and we cant really cant get what we need/want from our
firewall, router etc.

I box that was setup to run Snort, with a passive Ethernet tap between
our router and firewall.

Eth0 is LAN
Eth1 is Inbound traffic (in promiscuous mode) thru tap 
Eth2 is outbound traffic (in promiscuous mode ) thru tap in promiscuous
mode

Pmacct looks like a great tool and I'd love to give it a try.

I did search a bit on the archives, but didn't find much. Im very sorry
if this has been covered recently.

Can I run pmacct on my (Fedora) system that is seeing all in/out traffic
(for snort) that is on a passive Ethernet tap?

Is it as easy as downloading and setting it up? I guess the conflicts im
wondering about would be does pmacct care that there is no IP on the
interface and that its in promiscuous mode?

Thanks very much in advance; I appreciate it.
