It looks like it knows, assuming M-DOWN is useful information.
Eth2 is un-plugged, by the way.

[root@...forge-33-46 ~]# ifconfig eth2 up
[root@...forge-33-46 ~]# ip link show eth2.2
125: eth2.2@...2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
     link/ether 00:03:2d:08:33:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[root@...forge-33-46 ~]# ifconfig eth2 down
[root@...forge-33-46 ~]# ip link show eth2.2
125: eth2.2@...2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
     link/ether 00:03:2d:08:33:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[root@...forge-33-46 ~]#

Thanks,
