Hi All,

Simple question, been answered before but the search on
securityfocus.com is down. I need to enabled an interface on a quad
ethernet interface (qe0) to be in promiscuous mode, but with ARP
disabled.

The device isn't important (qe0), but the syntax of the command is.

ifconfig -d qe0 -I_FORGET -SOME_COMMAND_TO_IGNORE_ARP

I just need snort to listen on an interface with NO IP, and it should
not acknowledge requests as being in prom mode.

Thanks in advance.

Fulton.
