When monitoring a network, your monitoring interface should have no IP 
set or an IP address that matches you network with a netmask of 
255.255.255.255 if your monitoring software will not work with out an IP.

Example:
LAN is 192.168.1.0/24(255.255.255.0)
fxp0 is 192.168.1.2/24(255.255.255.0)
rl0 is 192.168.1.254/32(255.255.255.255)
