KNOWN ISSUES
|
|
|
|
Solaris:
|
|
|
|
On Solaris, iftop has to run in promiscuous mode in order to capture
|
|
outgoing packets. iftop autoconfigures to run in promiscuous mode on
|
|
Solaris, but will filter out non-broadcast packets which are not
|
|
addressed to or from localhost. On Solaris, the -p option merely
|
|
disables that filter.
|
|
|
|
If you have some other sort of system that behaves like Solaris in
|
|
needing promiscuous mode, you can pass --enable-default-promiscuous to
|
|
configure to enable this behavior.

|
The version of curses distributed with Solaris may not be sufficient for
|
|
iftop's needs. You will probably need ncurses or similar.
