This is all left as an exercise for the reader. Note that if your firewall/router is suitably advanced, you may be able to generate netflows internally from the device and therefore skip the fprobe steps completely. Usually when doing pilots, the flow generating computer is the same as the nfsen computer. (Note that 3Com used to call this mode "RMON Roving Port Analysis". Installing and configuring fprobe Posted by Vyacheslav Leave a comment on Installing and configuring fprobe On the test, I will install the fprobe sensor, which will collect statistics from network interfaces and transmit it to the collector. I like to dedicate an interface on the monitoring station for this purpose depending on your switch this might be mandatory as some switches will not let a system transmit through a switch set to "monitoring/mirroring" mode. In practice this means you will be mirroring the traffic you are interested in to a port to be connected to the monitoring station. As per the install instructions, I typed './configure' in the terminal once I was in the /home/'username'/Desktop directory which is where the unzipped. For this to work you need a smart switch that can mirror/clone traffic from one port to another, a computer to act as the flow generator, and a computer to act as the nfsen station. I am trying to install fprobe on a linux virtual machine so I can gather some NetFlow data.
