I was dealing with a carrier the other day and we were dealing with bringing up two ports on their network. The question came from the remote end "have you shutdown the port as its still showing up on my side", and indeed on the OpenBSD side carrier state was still "active". It seems to be the expected behaviour that when you put a port into "administrative down" mode that it kills the carrier too (indeed, I witnessed this for myself, because the carrier downed their side for me instead as I was unable to and I saw the carrier drop on OpenBSD). Thanks !
