Re: suppresing events from private lan

[hans <rosa.schwein () ma yer at>]

hi matt 

thanks for response.
i didn't set HOME_NET in the config-file, as i do start 
snort with -h option. 
so the following should work for: 

var HOME_NET $bge0_ADDRESS [172.20.1.0/24] 
var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET

bge0 is the plumbed interface up and running
and bge2 is the if, where snort ist listening.
therefore i would start snort with -i bge2 and without -h 
ok?

best regards 
hans
