Reporting server and sensor compatibility

[Pratibha Rajan <pratibha.nair12 () outlook com>]

Hi,We run Snort as an IDS with one centralized reporting server that is used to push the VRT updates to multiple 
sensors sitting in promiscuous mode. All the servers including the reporting server and sensors run with very old 
versions of Snort - 2.9.0.3 on RHEL 5.3. Needless to say the Rules also haven't been updated for a long time. Now if we 
were to upgrade some sensors to RHEL 7.2 with Snort 2.9.8.3, what issues will we be looking at w.r.t- VRT updates and 
conflict with the central reporting server (Snort - 2.9.0.3 on RHEL 5.3).Will the Central reporting server still be 
able to download new rules(seeing that VRT updates have been EOL for 2.9.0.3)?Thanks muchPratibha
