Would this no produce a packet storm? For every packet sent/received a new packet would be set to the monitor. For this new packet a new packet would be set to the monitor. For this new packet a new packet would be set to the monitor. For this new packet a new packet would be set to the monitor. ad infinitum. -D p.s. Mind you, tcpdump could filter out the monitoring machine :) -----Original Message----- From: Koroush Saraf [mailto:koroush.saraf@lmco.com] Sent: 15 October 2002 03:47 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Monitor IP Traffic from many BSD computers I have a pool of bsd computers, connected together via an ethernet switch. I like to monitor the traffic that is exchanged between all the computers, and capture and display them on a console computer. Since I'm using a switch, I will not be able to see the traffic and also the switch is a 3com superstack II -3300 which can only monitor one port at a time, so that option is out also. I like to know how I can setup the pool of bsd computers, so that they send a copy of whatever packet they receive to the console computer so that I can capture and graph it using a utility like etherape. thanks for your help, ~koroush To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message ----------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.
