Description

If there are GIFs which use IPv6 and at boot the IPv6-DHCP fails those are shown as Down/"Pending" on the Dashboard. Now if the IPv6 address is acquired they stay in that state. Going through the interfaces, clicking save and apply for each GIF causes them to go up/online. I would expect them to go online right away once the IPv6 address is acquired.

I haven't checked if this applies to IPv4 GIFs or IPv* GREs aswell, but that could be possible.
