Subject: [Snort-users] What is the best way to enable different rules for different subnets in Snort?


We have snort running on one of our servers which has a network interface that has a subnet configuration of 
192.168.0.0/16 I want to enable a specific rule, for example a chat rule with the sid:2002027, to 192.168.1.0/24 but I 
don't want the rule be active for 192.168.2.0/24. What is the best way to achieve this?

alert tcp any 6666:7000 -> any any (msg:"ET CHAT IRC PING command"; flow:from_server,established; content:"PING|20|"; 
depth:5; flowbits:set,is_proto_irc; reference:url,doc.emergingthreats.net/2002027; classtype:misc-activity; 
sid:2002027; rev:13;)

And also, the any keyword like the one in the above rule should be limited to 192.168.1.0/24. Otherwise it would affect 
192.168.2.0/24. And I am trying to automate this because we can have many subnets and many different rules for these 
subnets.

Any advice would be great
