I usually recommend that people implement Snort behind a firewall.

As for interfaces, 2 is a good start.  One for management, one for sniffing.
 However, if you have a tap, you might need 3 depending on the model of tap.

Hi guys,

I have been trying out snort for quite some time now and it works great. I
do want to try implementing snort in a live environment but am kinda
clueless how. I want to sniff for traffic before it hits the firewall and
enters the internal network. What would be the most optimal setup for the PC
and how many interfaces do I need?

Hope to get some advice. Thanks a lot.

Regards,
KW
