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.
PreProc essors
Figure 199: Sn ort Pre process ors
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.
