No.  Neither would lldp or other protocols.  That’s what a higher level management user interface is for.  I’d be happy to finally see someone do this in an abstracted way so it could be a cli, a Web interface, or some xml-rpc thingy or whatever is the standard of the day.
ifconfig is not the place, especially since it would have to query a daemon running somewhere else anyway.  Otherwise we’ll end up with ndp, ospf, isis, bgp, ipsec, and the apache, varnish, and squid status there as well.

Just my 2cts.
