So when you setup a monitoring box, I assume you would use two interfaces. One for remote monitor access and one that is actually monitoring the data? Does the monitoring interface need to have an IP address?

Hi joeka77,

What kind of connection you have to your WAN link? Is is just a RJ45 that goes from your switch or something else?
