Re: Newbie question -- Can Snort be installed in a routed mode instead of bridged mode?

Will check out daq nfq.  Appreciate the input.

Alternatively, does anyone know a good way to install in bridge mode, given
a more complicated network setup w/ Etherchannel (where there isn't just
one connection between switch & firewall)?


Thank you.

I think you can achieve a routed-like behavior using daq nfq. For example,
check the following document on Snort's documentation website:

Hello all:

Have been reading up on how to install Snort, and I have come across two
modes:  Bridged and SPAN.  Bridged mode would be preferable, but our
network is configured with layer 2 VLAN'ing, and an Etherchannel connecting
switches to the firewall.  So I do not see how I could physically connect
Snort in Bridged mode, since there is not just one connection from switch
to the firewall (where I could physically connect a Snort box inbetween).
Was wondering if Snort supports a Routed mode, where the incoming interface
is configured on one network subnet, and the outgoing interface is
configured on a different network subnet?  If so, could you please direct
me to supporting documentation re how to accomplish this?  My goal is to
have Snort inspect traffic from one internal network destined to another
internal network.

Thank you.
