Hi there,

Im following the steps outlined in the guide "Snort IPS using DAQ
AFPacket". I compiled snort with all the requirements and I am using
pulledpork for the rules.

When I start snort with
snort -c <conf path>/snort.conf -i eth1:eth0 -Q
I do get the alerts and snort stops some traffic as expected. 
However,
other functions running in that box are bypassed. The machine running
snort has a DHCP server, but when snort is running the DHCP server is
bypassed, so machines connected down the line get addresses from the
next DHCP server higher up in the hierarchy.

I want to confirm that this is the expected behavior. I did not 
expect
the other functions to be bypassed, although in retrospective it 
makes
some sense.

Is there some documentation, in addition to the manual, about this
behavior?

Thanks!

How are the above NIC's configured?
