Place to install Snort

[John Hall <JohnH () snetworking com>]

One method is to place a hub (not switch) between the LAN cable of your router and the LAN connection to the switch. Or 
if you have a monitoring port configured on your switch, then you can use that.


Internet => Router => HUB (not switch) =>regular switch (and connect Snort to the hub where it will get all traffic 
passed behind the firewall)
or
Internet => Router => Switch with monitoring port configured (and connect Snort to the monitoring port)
