Re: Snort and my VLANs

[Josh Bitto <jbitto () onlineschool ca>]

I actually resolved this...but since its Friday and you might not enjoy the rest of your life without knowing this. :P
We are using proxmox virtual environment with a pfsense firewall.....so all my interfaces are created through 
that......Turns out I did everything correctly I was just being a noob on triggering events.

Josh,

YM is right, you will need a distributed IDS to do this, however, what you can do is, place your Sensor in a specific 
VLAN, and then assign that VLAN to the egress interface of your Core switch or edge router before traffic cross over to 
the Internet. This way you would be able to sense and drop any packets.

And if you want to capture/sniff packets per VLAN, create a port mirroring on a VLAN, then assign that VLAN to the 
interface where your IDS is plugged to. All traffic will be mirrored to this interface so you can monitor them on your 
IDS.

Are your devices Ciscos or Juniper or mixed environment?

I'm having issues where I am not able to determine if I can actually catch bad traffic with snort.

Right now I have snort in a test lab where I have interfaces WAN, LAN....and then my VLANS. My firewall does all the 
routing and has the vlans setup. So when I go to testmyids.com<http://testmyids.com> and trigger a rule I get the rule 
triggered on my WAN interface but not any of my VLANs......

Basically what I'm trying to initiate is if a user brings in a byod...I want to be able to detect anything on that 
machine when it connects to my internal vlan.
