INPUT_SNMP and OUTPUT_SNMP for non-mirrored interfaces
trafficstars
current behavior:
- [--in-iface-idx|-u] fills INPUT_SNMP with the last two bytes of the MAC address of the flow sender.
- [--out-iface-idx|-Q] fills OUTPUT_SNMP with the last two bytes of the MAC address of the flow receiver.
The behavior above is consistent when the nprobe receives mirrored/netflow traffic as well as when the traffic goes through the nProbe host.
When a flow originates at the nProbe host, then INPUT_SNMP and OUTPUT_SNMP should be swapped:
- OUTPUT_SNMP is the local nProbe host interface used to send out the flow (sender mac address)
- INPUT_SNMP is the remote interface that will receive the flow (receiver mac address).
