Part2 – Monitoring Network Traffic with ntopng and nProbe

In the Part1 we have covered compilation of ntopng on Ubuntu 18.04.1 Server and installation of nProbe on Raspberry Pi 3. We have also configured Cisco Catalyst switch 3550 for traffic mirroring. The source of the traffic is the interface Fa0/3 where PC is connected and the destination port is Fa0/24 with connected Raspberry Pi 3B. This tutorial goes further and it covers configuration of the both ntopong and nProbe. First, let's have a look at the network topology.

Picture 1 - Network Topology
nProbe is running on Raspberry Pi 3B with the IP address 172.17.100.50/16. ntpong is running on Ubuntu 18.04.1 Server as the VirtualBox guest with the IP address 172.17.100.7/16. Our goal is to monitor network traffic from all devices connected to the ports of Cisco Catalyst switch 3550. In fact, we are monitoring only Windows 7 machine that is connected to Fa0/3.
Note: Without valid license, nProbe is working in demo mode and it is limited to show only 25000 flows export.
nProbe can work in two modes - poll mode and push mode. In a poll mode, ntopng dynamically subscribes to the probe via ZMQ, Continue reading
