[Oisf-users] Can I run Suricata with AF_Packet inside container

[Saxena, Samiksha]

Here is my yaml file config:
# af-packet support
# Set threads to > 1 to use PACKET_FANOUT support
af-packet:
  - interface: em1
    threads: 1
    defrag: yes
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    cluster-id: 98
    copy-mode: ips
    copy-iface: vethd56c973
    buffer-size: 64535
    use-mmap: yes
  - interface: vethd56c973
    threads: 1
    cluster-id: 97
    defrag: yes
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    copy-mode: ips
    copy-iface: em1
    buffer-size: 64535
    use-mmap: yes

You can look it up by googling your processor type.

How many threads did you set in af-packet section of yaml?

I am not sure about it, how can I check this?

Can your processor handle 38 packet processing threads?

Yes, I added the interface information in suricata.yaml.  This is what I am getting:

Did you setup the interfaces within suricata.yaml in the af-packet section?  Set ips mode in that section?

See https://home.regit.org/2012/09/new-af_packet-ips-mode-in-suricata/.  It works.  We use and it works great as long as your rules are set to drop as the action.

Hi,

I want to run Suricata with AF_packet mode inside a docker container. I am having trouble with configuring the interfaces. Also, I ran a simple rule of dropping every TCP request, but seems like nothing is dropped.

Thanks
