It's really simple actually.  Here is the most basic configuration:

ASA(config)# int ethernet 0/0
ASA(config-if)# description Outside Interface
ASA(config-if)# exit
ASA(config)# int ethernet 0/1
ASA(config-if)# description Span port
ASA(config-if)# switchport monitor ethernet 0/0 both
ASA(config-if)# exit

Then plug in a cable from 0/1 on the ASA to your promiscuous NIC in your ntopng 
box.  You'll need 2 NICS to do this on your ntopng box.  One for management and 
one for promiscuous listening.

Hi Greg

Thanks for this.  Is that a type of port on a VLAN that behaves like 
promiscuous mode or must it be configured on the gateway device?

I'm really battling to find anything in the ntop documentation about how to 
place an ntop box in the right place...

You need to create a span/monitor port on a vlan somewhere where you are seeing 
the most traffic and have that feed into your box.  From the sound of it you 
are only seeing switch traffic, which wouldn't really tell you anything useful.

Howdy

Thank you Luca and team for a great product.

We have the following topology:

LAN --> Cisco ASA --> Cisco ISP

I presently have the box with ntopng running on it plugged into the ASA's 
switch but it is capturing very little network activity at all.  How do I 
ensure that it intercepts all the traffic?

Must I add another network adapter and bridge them and place the box inline 
between LAN and Cisco ASA or between Cisco ASA and Cisco ISP?

Tiny volumes on 15mbps line.
