Re: Disable IPV6 in Snort 2.9.4.6

Hi


After switching from Snort 2.9.3.1 to Snort 2.9.4.6 I always get
UNIFIED2_IDS_EVENT_IPV6_VLAN (105) events instead of the non-IPV events I got when using Snort 2.9.3.1 (-;

But when sniffing with Snort 2.9.4.6, it only shows IP4 entries (see sniff-v.out)

As an example, i use the following snort config (snort.conf)

My tools can only parse IP4 unified snort output, so i need a way to get back the non-IPV6 events....


Thx in Advance for any help

Support for IPv6 was hardened in Snort 2.9.4, and is always enabled now.
Reference from the release notes/email when Snort 2.9.4 was released:

* Consolidation of IPv6 -- now only a single build supports both
   IPv4 & IPv6, and removal of the IPv4 "only" code paths.

Also, note that MPLS is enabled by default so the --enable-mpls is
not needed.

Hi


I updated from snort 2.9.3.1 to snort 2.9.4.6 and tried to configure
snort 2.9.4.6 with --disable-ipv6:

./configure --enable-mpls --enable-perfprofiling --disable-ipv6

but unfortunately the --disable-ipv6 is not available anymore:
...
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-ipv6

how can i configure/run snort 2.9.4.6 with disabling ipv6?



thx in advance
