[Ntop] ntop and netflow

[Paolo Supino]

Hi 

  I have a trunk link that is connected to a Cisco 3550 switch that I
want to monitor. I thought of useing netflow to collect the
information from the Cisco switch, but it turned out that the switch
doesn't support netflow. So I thought of mirroring the trunk and
letting NTOP collect all the information from the link directly. My
question is: Do I have to use NTOP as a netflow collector or can NTOP
display the same information without using its netflow capabilities.





TIA 
Paolo
