What happens when you bring the network interface down and then try to bring it back up again?

I am not sure it's suppose to detect if the network is down if this is ESX VMware. I could see this happening on vmware player or vmware if the VM is set to bridge mode (and not NAT).

I think it is normal that when you unplug the cable physically, the guest's NIC interface does not appear to be down even though the host's NIC interface appears to be disconnected. If you edit the virtual machine and disconnect its NIC, then it'll be shown as down.
