Peer interface NOT going down with 82599 10G NIC

I have a 10G DAC cable, connecting 10G 82599 NIC ports in two FreeBSD machines back-to-back. When I bring down the interface in one machine, the interface link in the peer machine is NOT going down.

Network topology:

FreeBSD machine(M1) FreeBSD machine(M2)
10G NIC port <-------------10G DAC cable --------------------------> 10G NIC port


Register settings :
bit IXGBE_ESDP_SDP3 of register IXGBE_ESDP is set to disable tx laser, when tried to bring down the interface.

Any clues why interface on the peer is not brought down?

I thought they were FreeBSD? FreeBSD is NOT a Linux. And what version of FreeBSD are you using? Different versions may have different versions of drivers.
 
@SirDice,

Yes, they were FreeBSD machines. Not linux machines.
Mistakenly wrote linux (being habitual of working in linux).

Both are running FreeBSD 6.3
