My 'ip utility, iproute2-ss080725':

$ ip link show help
Usage: ip link set DEVICE { up | down |
                             arp { on | off } |
                             dynamic { on | off } |
                             multicast { on | off } |
                             allmulticast { on | off } |
                             promisc { on | off } |
                             trailers { on | off } |

                             address LLADDR | broadcast LLADDR |
                             mtu MTU }
                             netns PID }
       ip link show [ DEVICE ]

does not support an "up" argument.
