I believe I have solved this myself. To elaborate, page 44 in the current nProbe_UserGuide.pdf lists sample commands for three modes of nProbe use. The command listed for collector mode is "nprobe -nf-collector-port 2055"
Because there is no --nf-collector-port parameter described in the manual, I assumed that given there is an em dash used in place of a double dash, perhaps it was a misprint, and that it meant "--nf --collector-port 2055". I tried adding a --nf parameter to my command, and nProbe behaved differently (appeared to override the "-i none" parameter). I have found this parameter description in an older version of the user guide (nProbe and nBox User's Guide v.4.0): [--nf-collector-port|-3] <port> | NetFlow collector port and this appears to have been renamed in the latest user guide (v.6.16): [--collector-port|-3] <port> | NetFlow/IPFIX/sFlow collector flows port I will submit an issue requesting this be corrected in the user guide. How the presence of the erroneous --nf parameter was interpreted by nProbe can remain a mystery. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:ntop-misc- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Shute > Sent: Wednesday, 17 August 2016 12:55 PM > To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]> > Subject: [Ntop-misc] What does the nprobe --nf parameter do? > > Appendix C of the nprobe user guide specifies the --nf parameter in a couple > of the example commands.
