I’m installing Snort in a esxi virtual machine, is it necessary to activate the « mode promiscius » ?

yes... without it, snort cannot see *all* traffic... it would see only traffic to its IP but for snort to do its designed job, it needs to see all traffic...

Do you have any procedure how and where to activate it ?

i do not know...

Will i face any issues with the other VM installed in my esx ?
