We can't answer that without knowing if your Shorewall6 configuration
is dependent on the IPv6 address of ppp0 or the IPv6 local network
address. If it isn't, then there is no reason to *reload* (there is
never a need to *restart* in this case)

If your ruleset contains rules that are dependent on the
above-mentioned addresses, then those rules will cease to match.
