RE: Snort & multi-port ethernet cards

["larosa, vjay" <larosa_vjay () emc com>]

On the sun qfe cards just set the local-mac-address=true at the obp prompt.
All four
ethernet ports on a qfe card have MAC's assigned to them. By default sun
uses the onboardoard 
MAC for all NICS. The local-mac-address property will change this behaviour.

Tom,

        One problem I ran into with a Sun qe4 card was that it had the same
MAC for each port on the card.  Now, that was with the old qe4 version--The
newer qfe4 has different MAC's for each port.  You might want to make sure
that the cards are on different physical segments and/or that the MACs are
different for each port.

        Good luck!
