Frank is correct, to follow up on what he said ...
What happens here is 32 and 981 get converted to a dotted quad. So 32
== 0.0.0.32 and 981 == 0.0.3.213.
Cheers,
Justin

Hi,
I add some incorrect rules such as:
"alert icmp HOME_NET any -> any any"
"alert tcp 32 any -> 981 any"
to local.rules file. why I don't encounter any error or warning about
these,
when I run snort?
Why should that create an error?
You're not talking about the IP addresses in integer format, are you? If
so, you might be surprised to know that other applications (like PHP)
don't produce errors either. :) (Try gethostbyname("32"); and see what
you get :)
Cheers,
Frank
