Traffic will need to be spanned to the snort interface.

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort network interface issue


Hello,



I am currently facing an issue with the Snort sensor not being able to capt=
ure 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 networ=
k. For example, when Server A pings Server B, Snort doesn't capture this tr=
affic. 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 thi=
s issue?



Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
