The Sensor enables inline port pairs to act as a true 'wire'. This means that when one port in a pair is DOWN, its peer will also be brought DOWN, and vice versa — when one is UP, its peer will also be brought UP (contingent upon the status of the device to which it is connected). This is achieved via the set portsettletime command, which enables you to specify the "settle time" for the ports. When a port is enabled and is not UP for a duration equal to the port settling time, the port is considered DOWN.
Since different switches take different amounts of time to negotiate, you must configure this value to a time period appropriate for your network. This value applies to all ports in the Sensor. Wire mode functionality is not enforced during the port settle time.
