How to setup inline

Hello,

I recently setup a box running snort at our headend, its not inline as of now, but its using a monitor port on a cisco 2950. What would be the ideal setup to put the box inline? I currently have 2 nics in this box, 1 on the monitor port, 2nd is the nic I use to connect to the box for console. To go inline, would I need 3 nics total, 1 in, 1 out, and set them to be bridged? Or what. If I wanted snort to drop the packets for say P2P, would snort do that by itself, or would I need to have a firewall running to do that. Just trying to make some sense of this.

Thanks
