ipfm no out bytes

[caveman]

HI, i have installed IPFMv0.11.5 on Freesco 0.4.2
It looks that it works fine, but on the local clients 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 i get no OUT bytes on the files generated.
I do get out bytes though in the internet interface 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0.

aDSL Modem Router (192.168.1.1 eth0) <-> Freesco <-> LAN (192.168.2.x eth1)
I need to monitor the internet usage of the LAN clients.

Any suggestions?

Code: Select all

DEVICE eth0

Because of NAT all outgoing traffic is only measurable when you enable monitoring of your FREESCO's external IP address.

Here's my config:

Code: Select all

# for scr_ipfm
# everyday
NEWLOG
LOG 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
LOG 94.215.16.200

This means you do get to measure all station downloads on a per station basis, but not their uploads. These are all summed up and collected in the FREESCO IP address (94.215.16.200 in my case)

The link doesn't work anymore because the archived forum has been taken off line.

Thanks dingetje for the reply. It's clear now how it works.
I wish though that iptraf and iptotal are made for v.4.x soon. That way on 3.x versions i had a more detailed info of my network.

Anyway, thanks again.
