I am running Snort 2.0 with Acid on Redhat 8. The Snort box has 2 interfaces; eth0 has an ip address and is used to administer the box; eth1 doesn't have an ip address and is plugged into a mirror port. I am running snort with the '-i eth1' option. I have installed Snortcenter and would like to use it to simplify rule management. When I attempt to add the sensor eth1 (no ip address) in Snortcenter, it appears that Snortcenter wants an ip address for the sensor. When I attempt to push the rule set to the sensor and then reload, Snortcenter complains that it cannot connect to eth1 due to the fact that it doesn't have an ip address. Is there a way around this?
<smart_ass_answer_mode> Sure! It's an easy fix! Don't use Snortcenter. </smart_ass_answer_mode> Seriously, don't use it. There seems to be a few issues with Snortcenter and v2.0. I'd suggest that until they are worked out, that it's not used. If this truly is an error with SC, then you'll need to see if the author(s) can get that fixed. If it's a problem with your startup script, then that's a different issue. What are the specifics of your error? Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
