Ipvar, for ips. Portvar for ports.
i love bikini answers! short and to the point ;) but in this case, i'm needing a bit more information, please... ipvar was started being used for IPv6 at what version of snort? ipvar was started being used for both IPv4 and IPv6 at what version of snort? var was no longer for IPv4 used at what version of snort? and lastly this question from the previous post... will older snorts fall over because of ipvar being introduced into their environment before they are ready for it? thank you...

If you have it turned off then you can continue and are encouraged to still use var.
