Hi All,

My question is the following:
My default snort config includes alerts for certain SNMP packets.
Now, if I have an external (not on home_net) address that is collecting
data for MRTG from my router, what can I do so it won't appear in the
alerts?

If possible I wouldn't add the whole IP address to a 'trusted' list or
however it is done.. just to let snort know that it is legitly getting data
from the SNMP of the router. That is a corporate machine and I don't even
know where it is physically, so I do handle the corporate network as
potentially 'hostile', but there is a lot of legitimate traffic (too)
between our subnet and corporate network (all over the world).

Greetings,
Endre Szekely-Bencedi
