Create a SPAN Interface and monitor your traffic

Port Mirroring, also known as SPAN (Switched Port Analyzer), is a method of monitoring network traffic. With port mirroring enabled, the switch sends a copy of all network packets seen on one port (or an entire VLAN)

This feature is available in both community or Enterprise Edition.
You can use ntop next generation aka ntopng to show network use.

We encourage using Artica 4.30.000.000 SP 261
