since snort rule may trigger many flase positive alert, while change
to drop/sdrop inline mode, maybe it will cut the needed traffic.
I think it need a small set rule especially choosed to suit for inline
mode, does anyone do this work already?

Hi,

yes you can change to drop your rules but you have other options like
sdrop/reject/replace..  see snort_manual.pdf in the /doc of your snort
tarball.

However be careful when you change your action to drop because it will
drop every packets it interprets as illegitimate traffic..

So I will first set your IPS as IDS for a while and little by little
switch your rules to drop/reject/sdrop/replace packets.

Thanks,
