Hello,

I am currently facing an issue with the Snort sensor not being able to capture all network traffic.
Here's the setup:

I have a dedicated server connected to several cloud servers via a vSwitch.
The vSwitch is configured to allow the dedicated server to reach the cloud servers, and I have set the vSwitch network interface to promiscuous mode.

However, the Snort sensor is unable to detect all traffic across the network. For example, when Server A pings Server B, Snort doesn't capture this traffic. On the other hand, when a separate Server X pings the Snort server, the traffic is detected.

Could you please provide any recommendations or insights into resolving this issue?

Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
