On Linux, the option myri_mac can be used to select over which ports Sniffer10G is loaded, leaving other ports untouched.
For example, on a system with two two-port adapters with these MAC addresses (the first two addresses from the first adapter and the second two addresses from the second adapter):
00:60:dd:46:7c:66, 00:60:dd:46:7c:67, 00:60:dd:46:7c:72, 00:60:dd:46:7c:73
the driver can be loaded with options
myri_mac=:66,:72
to load Sniffer10G on one port of each dual-port adapter.
Please also see the discussion at How do I configure my dual port Myri-10G adapter to run Sniffer10G on one port and Ethernet on the second port? for an alternate solution, available if the Ethernet performance is not critical.
Refer to If the host has multiple Myri-10G Network Adapters installed, can I load MX, SNF, and/or Myri10GE on different network adapters within the same host? for using myri_bus (another option for loading Sniffer10G on specific adapters) and for loading other firmware on other adapters in a system.
