Option | Definition

Enable | When selected, enables Snort inspection for the Security Engine. Note: To apply Snort inspection to traffic, you must also create Access rules to select traffic for Snort inspection.
Snort Configuration (Optional) | The externally created Snort configuration .zip file that contains the Snort configuration files and rules for Snort inspection. Click Browse to select a file. Click None to remove a previously imported file. Click Export to export the Snort configuration file. All Security Engines for which Snort inspection is enabled use the global Snort configuration by default. If you do not want to override settings in the global Snort configuration, it is not necessary to import a Snort configuration file for an individual Security Engine. Settings in the Snort configuration .zip file for an individual Security Engine are combined with the settings in the global Snort configuration .zip file. If any configuration files in a Snort configuration .zip file for an individual Security Engine have the same files name and paths as configuration files in the global Snort configuration .zip file, the overlapping files in the global Snort configuration .zip file are ignored.
