Snort Configuration | The externally created Snort configuration .zip file that contains the Snort configuration files and rules for Snort inspection.
All Engines for which Snort inspection is enabled use the global Snort configuration by default. Settings in the Snort configuration .zip file for an individual 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 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. |
