Configuring Preprocessors and Advanced Settings in Layers

Procedure


Step 1

While editing your Snort 2 policy, expand Policy Layers in the navigation panel, then click the name of the layer you want to modify.

Step 2

You have the following choices:

  • Change the layer Name.
  • Add or change the Description.
  • Check or clear the Sharing check box to specify whether a layer can be shared with another policy.
  • To access the configuration page for an enabled preprocessor/advanced setting, click Edit (edit icon) or the feature sublink.
  • To disable a preprocessor/advanced setting in the current layer, click Disabled next to the feature.
  • To enable a preprocessor/advanced setting in the current layer, click Enabled next to the feature.
  • To inherit the preprocessor/advanced setting state and configuration from the settings in the highest layer below the current layer, click Inherit.

Step 3

To save changes you made in this policy since the last policy commit, click Policy Information, then click Commit Changes.

If you leave the policy without committing changes, changes since the last commit are discarded if you edit a different policy.
