[Ntop] split result by network

This is exactly long the lines of what I'm trying to do as well...

Except I don't have "ports" on a router, but I'm planning networks on 
vlans (per the diagram above).

The RB 750G is a mikrotik router that spits out netflow data.  My plan 
is to set up vlans to the RB 250G (which is a layer 2 managed switch).

So Vlan 10 - 192.168.1.0/24, Vlan 30 - 192.168.2.0/24, Vlan 30 - 
192.168.3.0/24, etc

The reason I'm thinking this is because I don't want the users to run 
NAT routers because I'd then end up with double natting, which will 
upset some apps.

My current thinking is that perhaps I set up private AS ranges then use 
ntop to consolidate the data that way.   I want daily and monthly 
running totals for each port on the RB 250G (ie each VLAN)

If it's "all" traffic data (detailed), you'll need netflow with different logical netflow interfaces for each of the three interfaces you are monitoring.  If you just want summary data (bytes and packets Tx and Rx, etc.) grouped by each network range you are monitoring - you can use clusters / communities; one for each network range.
