Ok, I agree with that that port do no reacion until it is 'UP'
but why it do reaction when port on switch is turned ON?
SW PORT is OFF      -----------   status link is no carrier

SW PORT is ON       -----------   status link is active
      (why react despite on interrupts is off???)
SW PORT is OFF      -----------   status link is active
      (do not react because of interrupts is off)
