Explanation

TAP (Test Access Point) mode, found in the Advanced tab of inline set properties in FMC, makes an inline interface pair behave like a passive interface. The device receives a copy of traffic but cannot drop or modify packets - it only monitors. This is useful for testing IPS policies in a live environment without impacting traffic. Unlike a true inline deployment, TAP mode is purely detective, not preventive.
