Looking at your original query, if you just want to ignore all their
traffic use a bpf filter either on the command line, a filter file or in
the suricata.yaml config. It would look this (for example):
not (host IP1 or IP2 or IP3 or net NET/24)
That will drop all traffic for those hosts.
If you want to use pass rules, you need to copy the standard rule to a
new rule with a new sid, change "alert" to "pass" and then add the
IPs/networks to the rule. Make you sure you enable the rules file (e.g.
pass.rules) in your suricata.yaml file.
