Me thinks you missed one more entry...

Q. ntop starts up with this:
   WARNING: Discarded network 172.20.0.0/16: this is the local network.
A. No worries.  The message means exactly what it says - it's a warning that
   you gave the local network as one of the parameter(s) to -m.  Since the
   local networks are always local, ntop doesn't need to make them
pseudo-local.

So you don't need to specify anything that can be discovered from the
ifconfig data.  Anything else that you want ntop to treat as local, must be
specified via -m to make it pseudo-local.

Subject: [Ntop] Multiple subnets?



Morning List,

Can someone enlighten me on the use of the  -m flag please.     I am trying
to monitor two separate networks over a WAN.  Would the syntax be :
./ntop -u user  -W 3000 -m  xxx.xxx.xxx.0 /24 ,  yyy.yyy.yyy.0 /24        ?
Or would I not need to list the local subnet that ntop is already on?


I appreciate the help.    I have read the FAQ's Burton, pages 21 through 26
are helpful, but I wonder what the result will be with multiple routers
involved via the WAN.  We will see.
I used to be able to see where local machines were connected on the
Internet, but that seems to evade the current install:    RedHat8,
ntop-2.1.3, dell optiplex gx1.     What can I do to enable this feature?

All have a good day!


Thanks--
