Gigabit ethernet controller state

[victor.rosa]

Sorry for the question;

Should an ethernet controller maintain a network up status when the link is down/down?

The port is configured nonegotiate.

I am not sure if I understand the question, but if the link is down/down than the interface is down too.

  network link is up  <------- never comes down, even if SFP is removed or port is set to shutdown or disconnected
  Config is Auto Speed, Auto Duplex
  Selected media-type is SFP
