Why each option
Valid ntop deployment scenarios include Simple Host for monitoring a single machine, Border Gateway for network perimeter monitoring, and Mirror Line using switch port mirroring to capture traffic.
`Public Site` is a general description of a location and not a specific technical deployment scenario for a network monitoring tool like ntop.
`Switched Gateway` is not a standard or specific ntop deployment scenario, although ntop can certainly monitor traffic through a gateway (which aligns with the Border Gateway scenario).
A Simple Host deployment involves running ntop on an individual machine to monitor its own network traffic, providing insights into local network activity.
In a Border Gateway deployment, ntop is positioned on a gateway or router at the network perimeter to monitor all traffic flowing between internal networks and external networks.
A Mirror Line deployment utilizes port mirroring (SPAN port) on a network switch to send a copy of all traffic from selected ports or VLANs to the port where ntop is connected, allowing passive monitoring without inline interference.
