Hi
If you send the config of your switch (decorated of course Interface
Ethernet0/0 ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ) maybe I can give you some assistance with
the span port.

Subject: [Snort-users] How to place Snort machine on the network ?


Hi All,

I am new to the Snort stuff. But I have managed to install and test it.
Its
working fine as far as running it is concerned. I set the eth0 LAN
connection to PROMISCIUS mode, which is then supposed to capture all
network
traffic.

But it is not happening so if you use " snort -v " to display the
traffic
on
your screen.

All I could see is the broadcast traffic. Say a packet from 192.168.0.10
to
192.168.0.255 but machine to machine communication isn't just appearing
!!!

I am connected to the network using a Cisco 2912 switch and have set one
of
its port to Monitoring Port. Now I am not sure if it is properly set as
monitoring port or not ... !!!

Can someone tell me what is the cause of this problem.

Thanks

Trek
