Hi,

By very quiet i mean no alerts whatsoever, i assume
a). my router and firewall is doing a good or b). i
have do something wrong.

When i an a rule for any traffic coming in i see
plenty going on so maybe my config is ok. An external
scna using superscan gave nothing. The snort options i
use are as follows

c:\snort.exe -c c:\snort\snort.conf -h 172.17.1.0/24
-i 1

Does this all sound rerasonable,

Appreciate your comments.

It sounds like you have everything set up correctly.
By "very quiet" do you
mean that there are no alerts at all? If you did
some sort of nmap scan of
the internal network I really should show up in your
portscan.log file.
Just for Yuks you may want to try and set your home
network to 'any' and
scan again. Also how are you running snort? What
flags are you using on the
command line?

Hi,

I have setup snort and it is very quiet. I just want
to make sure everything i done is correct. I have
set
it up as follows

internet -- router --- (public ip
outside)pix(inside172.16.1.1) --- (172.16.1.2)
3005Concentrator (172.17.1.1) --- my inside network
on
172.17.1.0

My snort machine is monitoring all traffic coming
from
the pix inside interface, i am using span port
mirroring on my switch. When i turn on alert tcp any
any -> any any i do see plenty of traffic going back
and forward. However when i turn it off it is very
quiet. I assume my router and firewall is doing a
good
job but how can i be sure it all works. An external
scan didnt create any alerts. I set my home network
in
snort to 172.17.1.0

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks.
