use the -i switch.
An example would be
/usr/local/bin/snort -u snort -b -l /var/log/snort -d
-D -i eth1 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

If you installed with an rpm there is probably a
startup script in /etc/init.d  It is usually called
snortd on the redhat rpm's.  Edit the script and look
for the line:
# Specify your network interface here
INTERFACE=eth1

That is the variable the script uses to start up on. 
By default it is set to eth0.
