Chapter 25 – Configuring The Snort IDS

This menu allows you to configure the IP addresses and ports of servers in the local and external network.

The Home Net field defaults to “ANY” and designates the IP subnet of any local ports on the router. Configuring a specific subnet can reduce the number of alerts generated.

PreProcessors

Figure 199: Snort Preprocessors

Preprocessors are plug-in modules that operate on the captured packets. Preprocessors perform a variety of transformations to make it easier for snort to classify packets.

The configuration of preprocessors is beyond the scope of this user guide.
