[Bro] Bro 2.1 support for sniffing on multiple interfaces faces

[Coen Bakkers]

Hi Doug,

I am not using PF_RING, for now we have 


[bro]
type=standalone
host=localhost
interface=eth0
interface=eth1
interface=eth2
interface=eth3
interface=eth5
interface=eth6

Where I am noticing that when leaving all of these interfaces enabled it may or may not break its working for some reason. When I switched to a single interface it started working but the configuration one of the nodes with above settings seems to works though and I have no clue why.

Regards,

Coen

Hi Coen,

Are you perhaps using PF_RING?

The PF_RING multiple interface issue was resolved in Bro 2.2.
