man ntop maybe?
-w |
--http-server
-W |
--https-server
ntop offers an embedded web server
to present the information that has
been so
painstakingly gathered. An external HTTP
server is NOT
required NOR supported. The
ntop web server is embedded into the
application. These
parameters specify the port (and optionally the
address (i.e. interface)) of the
ntop web server.
For example, if started with -w 3000 (the default port), the
URL to
access ntop is http://hostname:3000/ . If started with
a full specifi-
cation, e.g. -w
192.168.1.1:3000, ntop listens on
only that
address/port combination.
If -w is set to 0 the web server will not listen for http://
connec-
tions.
-W operates similarly, but controls the port for the https:// connec-
tions.
