Assuming that is the case for the moment they probably would use the same default route and when one interface is shutdown it removes what it believes is its default route which happens to be the same route for the other interface. What is it you are trying to do? I believe there are tools available to bond the two interfaces together (assuming you have switches capable of handling that). A little more information on your network design may be helpful. And why do you want to manually bounce the interfaces? -- Scot L.
