your net tools are old and need updated.
there is only one physical device, it is either up or down. the proper way to think of the device is this:
# ip a s eth1 6: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:a0:cc:54:e1:eb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 208.179.68.66/26 brd 208.179.68.127 scope global eth1 inet 208.179.68.67/26 brd 208.179.68.127 scope global secondary eth1 ...
there is one physical device that can be up or down and one or more addresses associated with it.
