[Ntop] Netflow collector vs Netflow exporter

[Gary Gatten]

This is possible, but why do you need two instances?  You configure
virtual netflow interfaces - as many as you require within reason.  Each
interface maintains it's own statistics for whatever data it receives
from the netflow sources.  Each interface should have a unique udp port
number it listens on.

 

HTH.

Subject: [Ntop] Netflow collector vs Netflow exporter

 

Hi,

It's describe on this page <http://www.ntop.org/netflow.html>  realtive
to netflow usage:

Thanks to the NetFlow plugin, ntop can: 

*	export flows (version 5) to the collector 
*	act as a collector 
*	be both a collector and probe at the same time 

I am right now working on a project and my need is to use have two ntop
instances. 
The first one will be used as a netflow collector (netflow agent are
cisco's routers) and a Netflow exporter to the second one used only as a
Netflow collector.

My question is very simple : Is it possible? In case of positive answer
: what's the way to do it?

I read a lot of things about ntop in documentation, FAQ and so on, but I
am still loocking for the right information.

Thanks in advance for all your replies.

Kris
