You need a netflow source; nprobe can do that, and ntop can use built-in interfaces, or can take netflow data from your switch, if that switch is capable of netflow export. You need either what's known as a 'SPAN' port on your switch, or you need a hub on a common connection, possibly the WAN port itself, to be able to sniff all the traffic in lieu of netflow data export. For the DD-WRT side of things, since you mention that you use that, please see: http://netflowninjas.lancope.com/blog/2009/07/turn-your-linksys-into-a-netflow-exporter-ddwrt.html and http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Useful_tools_for_the_WiFi_Network -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
