Not all ethernet drivers disable the PHY when you down the interface...
You can try to use:
ifconfig <int> media none
to shutdown the PHY, but the em driver on 9.1 doesn't have it, but re
(7.2-R and -current) and msk (-current) seems to have it...
Also, why do you want the led to go off? Remeber, the led is just an
indication if there is a link established, not what will happen to the
packets that are received...

Thanks for your comments. What I wanna to do is informing the other end
that the interface is down and also be able to find out that the other
neighbors are also down or not!
So firstly, I need to find a way to make the led go off like when the cable
is not connected. Then I also need to know how to find out the other end is
going off!

Can you use LACP on that link The state of LACP can indicate to both
sides whether the other end is working. See if_lagg
