RE: [Snort-inline-users] Help- Snort_inline Single Point of Failure

[Yap S. H. <sin...@ex...>]

Hi Will,

I agree what you are saying, but in certain circumstances when budget is a
concern for customer, then we need to work out a solution to fix the budget
as well as to minimize the downtime. 

Is there a way other than having another redundant box, Snort_inline can
still allow traffic to pass in the event of power loss or other failures? 

regards

Not really sure what you are asking me here.  Are you asking me if a
box running snort-inline dies how to get traffic to pass?  The short
answer is if you don't have redundent connections to whatever network
segment you are trying to protect you can't do this.  This isn't a
snort-inline limitation though, this is a network design limitation.

Regards,

Will
