Figure 37 pnic-Compiler Option 8-9
Please choose the maximum number of bytes per signature (1024 recommended).
Selecting a small number allows larger sets of signatures
at the expense of more false positives.

To generate new PNIC firmware with the above configuration
Select Save_configuration and run make
The compilation process will create the file: snort_rules.sample.xc4vlx200-ff1513.20.20.2048.N.Y.N.N

Summary of configuration
Starting and Stopping the pnic-Compiler
Enter the keyboard command Ctrl-C or a SIGINT signal to interrupt the compilation or configuration
process. Enter
gmake
to restart the process from where it was interrupted. The compilation process
restarts at the point where it was halted; the configuration process restarts from the beginning.
During compilation, enter
Ctrl-C
followed by
gmake clean
to regenerate firmware with different
options. This erases the current configuration and resets the compilation process. Previously generated
firmware files are not erased.
