Well, yeah, but *his* question was, "It is possible to manage snort agents 
IDS/IPS using a ISS console?"

The "ISS console" he refers to is Site Protector, and I doubt seriously 
that you can manage snort sensors with it.

However, you *might* be able to integrate the *data* from snort sensors 
into the Site Protector interface.  I don't know that for certain, so you'd 
have to check the docs.
