hello,
am i right in saying;
1. if ips is in ips mode, then i have to use interface pair?
1. if we have interface pair, does this 2 interfaces has to be in different subnets?

1. Yes you are right you need two interfaces and IPS acts like bridge
2. IPS doesnt route between subnets and is used like transparent bridge - so you can place it between two computers in same network and its transparent for those PC
pc1 ----IPS ----pc2
BUT you can use also VLAN pairs - packets received on one of the paired VLANs are analyzed and then forwarded to the other VLAN in the pair.

so if it is in inline mode and i have a flat network, all conversations should pass thru my IPS.
Do I have to configure anything on my switch on this case. aor whta has to be done to achieve this.
thanks
