Hi Gaetan,

are you passing interfaces via command line or via config file?

Cause if you use a config file it should be pretty easier to setup multiple
interfaces. I suppose you are using AF_PACKET, you just have to keep in
mind to use different "cluster-id" for each interfaces:

af-packet:
  - interface: eth0
    cluster-id: 100
  - interface: eth1
    cluster-id: 101
  - interface: ethN
    cluster-id: 102

Then you should run:
suricata --af-packet -c <path-to-config>

Regards,
Davide
