Description
Detecting the protocol down (shutting down the remote interface) on etheret interfaces does not work.
A fa0/0<->fa1/0 B
Turning down the interface fa1/0 should result in a "Protocol down" on interface fa0/0. But this behavior does only work on serial interfaces.

Research direction
Reproduce the fa0/0-to-fa1/0 topology described in the issue and compare its behavior with the serial-interface case. Trace the interface protocol-status handling used during remote shutdown. Done means bringing down fa1/0 causes fa0/0 to report "Protocol down" while the existing serial behavior remains correct.
