On the sun qfe cards just set the local-mac-address=true at the obp prompt. All four ethernet ports on a qfe card have MAC's assigned to them. By default sun uses the onboardoard MAC for all NICS. The local-mac-address property will change this behaviour. vjl -----Original Message----- From: Erek Adams [mailto:erek () theadamsfamily net] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 2:19 PM To: Tom Sevy Cc: Snort-Users eMail List (E-mail) Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort & multi-port ethernet cards On Thu, 20 Jun 2002, Tom Sevy wrote:
Running various versions of snort, in the 1.8 range, I've tried to use two different multi-port ethernet adapters.
[...snip...] Tom, One problem I ran into with a Sun qe4 card was that it had the same MAC for each port on the card. Now, that was with the old qe4 version--The newer qfe4 has different MAC's for each port. You might want to make sure that the cards are on different physical segments and/or that the MACs are different for each port. Good luck! ----- Erek Adams Nifty-Type-Guy TheAdamsFamily.Net ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
