With strange autoneg mismatches you might only see one side go down
so you want to do this. Probably your monitoring can help you
merge those events.

Using open source tools like nagios this comes for free as soon
as you put your hierarchie into the "parent" information for the hosts.

Making ports a "parent" is possible but requires much more information.
As we dont create the nagios config by hand but export it from our
configuration and inventory system this is just a matter of a few
more lines of code to do this aswell - definitly on the list.
