Inline Posture Bridged Mode
In bridged mode, the Inline Posture node operates as a standard Ethernet bridge. This configuration is typically used when the untrusted network already has a gateway, and you do not want to change the existing configuration.
Figure shows the Inline Posture node acting as a bridge for the Layer 2 client traffic from the WLC into the Cisco ISE network, managed by the Policy Service ISE node. In this configuration, Inline Posture requires subnet entries for the 10.20.80.0/24 and 10.20.90.0/24 subnets to be able to respond to and send Address Resolution protocol (ARP) broadcasts to the correct VLANs.
