Your rule logic is slightly skewed.
Change the reset on match (B) to a pass on match (same attributes.)
Make Slot 1 input of the pass on match be the output of the reset on match (A),
and slot 2 be the I-Up trap. Make the Pass on match hold time be 999 hours, or
something really big.

This will do what you want: in (kind of) English:
If there is an interface down trap, that has not been reset by an interface up,
then start waiting for the corresponding interface up, and when that arrives,
send the page.
