Are there any configuration requirements to properly test with pcap traffic?

[marcus]

I'm referring to running pcap traffic through the device from a traffic server, and with the firewall *disabled* in order to focus on the IDS/IPS. Not capturing or replaying traffic from within it.

For instance:

• Promiscuous mode on any of the interfaces or the IDS?
• Any special NIC settings
• Any other tuning requirements

Thanks -
