netwatch - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

Netwatch - Ethernet Internet Protocol Monitor

SYNOPSIS

netwatch [ -h ] [-b] [-i dd.dd.dd.dd] [-m dd.dd.dd.dd] [-n] [ - t] [ -e ethnum ] [ -c
netconfigfile ]

DESCRIPTION

Netwatch examines all the packets travelling on an ethernet and analyses the IP packets.
The information is tallied according to the source and destination hosts. An ncurses
display indicates a dual-list status for all hosts. The left display refers to LOCAL
hosts. The right list refers to REMOTE hosts. It is possible to examine statistics
(counts) on number of packets, bytes, IP service type and last communication host for each
host. Use the arrow keys (left and right) to change the display.

OPTIONS

-e ethnum
ethnum is the name of the ethernet device to attempt to run with netwatch. (e.g.
-e eth1 selects the eth1 device rather than the default eth0 device.

-c confignetfile
selects the name of the file which contains the ifconfig information. Note that
this is not necessary since netwatch will use the route information from /proc/net
to build all the information needed (without using ANY configuration file).

-b For a transparent bridge, ignore every other packet... (older kernels)

-i dd.dd.dd.dd
Fake a local internet address for "this" machine... (useful in making fake local
net for monitoring when combined with the -m option )

-m dd.dd.dd.dd
Fake the netmask which is used for the local net evaluation

-n Do not resolve names (just display addresses)

-h Simple help information

-t Start Netwatch in TOP Mode (30 sec. startup delay)
