Internet speed slower in bridge mode

breda
Hi, we upgraded our internet speed to 100 Mbs and doing speed test with the Shield we are only getting  50.86 Mbs if  I bypass the shield I get a speed of 105.29 Mbs  here are some  of my logs and screen shots  any help would be appreciated

Re: Internet speed slower in bridge mode

Hi breda

i found this about the snort settings in http://seclists.org/snort/2014/q3/944: 

khan wrote
I sorta fixed the problem but honestly, I'm not sure if it's the right solution (Just don't know what the heck I'm
doing. First time installing snort)

I did two things:

  1.  I had 4 ports spanned to snort's monitoring promiscuous interface. Snort's switch interface had tons of packet
drops. Way too much traffic which I believe contribute to buffering overflow. Also, with tons of dropped packets snort
is not able to see RX and TX in order to analyze traffic? (Don't know for sure but still researching. I don't know what
info snort requires in order to analyze traffic. Does it require a complete established sessions before analyzing? For
testing purposes, I removed stream5_tcp: 'requires_3whs' (3 way handshakes) but that didn't help). In any case, having
one span port to snort alleviates helps a lot. Dropping tons of packets is never a good thing :)
  2.  I've also changed and added the following parameters (in red below) in /etc/snort/snort.conf. Max_queued_bytes
and max_queued_segs seems to help a lot to remove these messages. My box has tons of memory so I figured 80MB and 40MB
respectively should be ok.

# Target-Based stateful inspection/stream reassembly. For more inforation, see README.stream5
preprocessor stream5_global: track_tcp yes, \
track_udp yes, \
track_icmp no, \
memcap 1073741824, \
max_tcp 1048576, \
max_udp 1048576, \
prune_log_max 1073741824, \
max_active_responses 4, \
min_response_seconds 6
preprocessor stream5_tcp: policy windows, detect_anomalies, require_3whs 180, \
   overlap_limit 10, small_segments 3 bytes 150, timeout 180, max_queued_bytes 90485760, max_queued_segs 40485760, \
so he changed the preprocessor_stream5_ctp and increased the mex_queued_* values. (<a href="http://manual-snort-org.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/node17.html#SECTION00322000000000000000 for documentation">Snort manual - 2.2.2 Session)

You could play with these settings but I lack the insight how one setting effects another as I am not too familiar with snort fine tuning.

Hi Breda,

Here is how to do it: http://itus.accessinnov.com/Internet-dropping-out-in-bridge-mode-td28.html

You should be getting > 100mb with your shield

Ok, let's triple it to 3 megs for the queue:

prune_log_max 2097152

max_queued_bytes 3137628

I would also disable unused preprocessors. Hans wrote a script to run which makes it really easy: http://itus.accessinnov.com/Bridge-mode-bugfix-and-performance-improvement-tp561p593.html
Running in bridge mode, 1.51 SP1 fw

just copy the file to the temp folder /tmp on the shield with the WinSCP program and then run it via SSH?
The script run very fast and you should see the words "moved files"
job done

snort_preproc_move.sh

The script you have to run is  snort_preproc_move.sh  which i posted in my previous reply and is the one Hans put together.

Re: Internet speed slower in bridge mode

Roadrunnere42
type the following

cd /tmp
(then press enter) this will take you to the tmp folder, as the shield is based on linux you have to tell the shield that the script in actually in the folder you are in, this is done by put ./ in front for the script name
so i normally do
sh ./(name of script)

you have a space after ./

sh ./ snort_preproc_move.sh

it should read

sh ./snort_preproc_move.sh
