Hi All,

I am running some tests in which I have to bring down
my interface down as soon as I tear down the cable.
Cable tearing results only in the link failure(as link
light went off), but it doens't bring my interface
down. 

Is there a way to bring the interface down as soon as
my link fails, probably using 'ip link' or 'ip
monitor'. Does anyone know about it.

If there is some hardware monitering tool that can
detect the link failure, probably I can use this to
write a small program which will bring down the
interface as soon as I link failure is detected 

Thanks,
NItin
