Hmmmm I agree with David, if you are only going to be passively
monitoring traffic (alerting) there is no need to run in inline mode.
You will probably introduce some unnecessary latency into your
network. I would investigate using a span port or a tap.

You should run snort as inline-mode (see manual version 2.3.x).
In inline-mode, snort takes packet informations from target QUEUE of
iptables.
So, you make bridge between two NICs, and assign QUEUE to FORWARD-chain
target.
Wouldn't inline just add another layer of complexity when it's not needed? I
would go with the switch and the span port, unless you have some specific need
for inline, such as connection killing or any of the IPS style functionality.
But I'm no expert...
