How many interfaces are visible under the server icon in the map? If there are
only 4 managed, then this will happen automatically for you. If there are
more, and you don't care about their status, you can unmanage them to get you
to where there are 4 interfaces unmanaged.
If you can't do that, it would be possible to do what you want in a ruleset
action. You can examine the contents of the "TopM Interface List" field.
Those interfaces should be in the list as well as their current status. It
would be a little tricky, since the list filed occupies several lines (grepping
it out won't work - you'd have to use a script).
