We patch implement the below requirement mentioned the representors documentation.
Eg: ip link set r0p1 up/down will disable carrier on/off of the corresponding representee(eth0) interface.

The representee's link state is controlled through the representor. Setting the representor administratively UP or DOWN should cause carrier ON or OFF at the representee.
