Snort Engines

Prev Next

Trellix IPS NS-series Sensors support either of the following Snort engines:

  • Trellix IPS Snort

  • Suricata Snort

Note

  • A Sensor can run only one of the above engines at a time.

  • The Suricata Snort engine is not available on NS9600, NS7600 and NS3600 Sensors.

You can select a Snort engine at the global level and override the selection per admin domain and/or Sensor, as necessary. The Advanced Device Settings page at the global and device levels allows you to select the engine you prefer to use.
