Hi Joe,
The APU2 is not a TAP, it is a standard pc. Ntopng runs inside the APU2
itself. If you need a monitoring solution based on a TAP, you will need
to do the TAP aggregation separately and then feed the aggregated
traffic through a single APU2 port.
Please note that you can install ntopng on any standard pc with at
least one NIC.
We use the APU2 for a different task, which is to intercept packets
being forwarded from one network interface to another to monitor and
possibly shape/drop them. This is why we have are interested in a board
with multiple NICs.
Regards,
Emanuele
