Re: snort_inline about logging MACs

Logging the mac address is only possible if the customer is within the
collision domain of the snort sensor. As soon as a router is inbetween
snort and the customers machine it is impossible. 
If this precondition is met you can simply use iptables to log the MAC.

Hi,all

    I'm using snort inline as an IPS on a central linux box, from this
linux, our customer can login  to other inner hosts.
I want to log our customer's MAC address as an identification,It seems
that snort_inline dose not support this directly,
How can I do.   Thanks in advance for any directions!
