Soner,
If you are in bridge mode, sniffing on one of the interface should be enough as any of the interface should see all the traffics. So that doesn't matter.
And it is fine that bridge has no IP and snort will still work.
We need to know more about your setup, it's a bit unclear, I'm wondering why you should configure IP for the network interfaces.
Hi,
I need to run snort on multiple interfaces. Currently, I'm running multiple snort instances to achieve this, but this stretches the shared memory.
I've read FAQ 3.6, where it reads I should use a bridge interface on *BSD systems. I've tried that advice by creating bridge0, adding physical interfaces to it, upping it (per the brconfig(8) examples), and finally starting snort with "-i bridge0" argument. Snort starts (though, complaining that bridge0 is not assigned any IPs), but I cannot see any alerts.
Otherwise, I use nmap to trigger alerts, and I can generate alerts very easily by providing snort with, say, "-i vr0".
In order to clarify what I did, I need to assign IPs to all of the physical interfaces, thus I cannot follow the examples in brconfig(8) verbatim.
Do I need to do anything else, or am I missing something? How do I achieve "any" interface on OpenBSD?
I would appreciate any help, Thanks,
