The second interface should use an ifname that’s an alias of the first (whatever that means). In this case that would be @homenet4, rather than pppoe-homenet4.
I confirmed that with this change, bouncing the first interface restores the ipv4 for the second and restores a comparable ifstatus result to a reboot. Tim _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
