I didn't play much with new NNM 8i, but NNM 6.x and 7.x uses a slightly different approach - status of a node is depending on number of interfaces being down - for example if less than half of interfaces is down node status will be Minor, and if more than half is down - Major. If talking anout HP management products, we use approach similar to OpenView Operations - by default parent object's status equal to most critical child status, but you can change this by changing status propagation and/or calculation properties for either parent or child object.
For example, setting status calculation mode for switch node object to "multiple thresholds" and setting thresholds to Warning 0.1, Minor 0.2, Major 0.5, Critical 0.9 will give you kind of NNM-like status calcualtion for switch node.
