You can't force the status to be up.
Cacti's poller will always check host availablity prior to poll real data. It will use UDP/ICMP Ping and/or SNMP checks. The specific tests were changed from cacti 0.8.6i to j.
You can "disable" those checks by leaving the community string of a specific host empty. Of course this will not help in cases where you try to gather data using SNMP

Hello,

I also have a Freebox and it's now working, my device is up

To do so I had to had a graph (Unix - Ping Latency) to point the Freebox internal adress and it's working fine, here are views from my Cacti.
