Question on using pf_ring from ntop CentOS repo
Hi,

I added the ntop repo to my CentOS 7 machine and installed the pfring
package. I ran into an issue where I realized that although I installed the
package, it did not compile and load the pfring module needed by my system
(pf_ring.ko). Under the /usr/src directory, I was able to compile and add
it to modprobe. Do I have to do this every time there's an update to the
pfring package and how would I make this module persistent across reboots?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You don't need to manually compile the module. It will be automatically
rebuilt from /usr/src by DKMS when needed. Starting ntopng with "service
ntopng start" command will start PF_RING too.

Regards,
Emanuele
