Security Onion and a new VLan?

Hello Snort Community,

We are attempting to monitor a larger part of our total network traffic 
on Vlan 66.113.xx.xx we are running Security Onion (SO) in a production 
environment, using Proxmox for VM and utilizing  Squil, and Snorby for 
analysis. We have added the Vlan bridge in Proxmox and 66.113.xx.xx has 
been added to our $HOME_NET.

SO has an IP address of 10.10.xx.xxx on eth0 (which is not ideal) and 
the data collected from this Vlan is accurately reflected in Squil and 
Snorby. We see events from eth0 in Squil and Snorby, but nothing for 
eth1. And all data collected on eth0 is from the 10.10.xx.xxx Vlan 
exclusivity.

When I run snort -i eth1 our sensor captures data from the 66.113.xx.xx 
Vlan, which is correct.

Do I need to add a static IP address e.g., 66.113.xx.xx to eth1 to fix 
this issue?

Is there some work I need to do in the config file?

Our sensor is not monitoring Vlan 66.113.xx.xx.

When I start Squil, I check the box eth0 and eth1, which are the network 
I want to monitor. No data from eth1 is showing in Snorby and Squil.

Ifconfig eth1& eth0

eth1   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 96:23:88:bd:5a:6c

Thanks in advance. Any guidance is much appreciated.
