Re: Event Suppression between specific Source and Destination

A pass rule would be without any effect because I run the sensor in 
alert-before-pass configuration.

Is there any other possibility?

Hi Joel

Thanks for your feedback. But unfortunately this doesn't work in my
opinion.

Assume I have Host A and Host B and I want to suppress a signature
if and only if traffic goes from Host A to Host B.

If I create two suppress rules e.g.
Suppress if originating from A
and
Suppress if destination is B

Then the signature is also suppressed for any other destination than
B for a packet originating in A. And it is also suppressed for any
other source than A for a packet with destination B.


Then your alternative at this time is to create a pass rule.
