Interface rename: Triggers interface "renew" drops everything :-)

What feature is impacted?

Internet, thus RED, IPSEC, all connectivity!

What is the severity of the issue? (High, medium, low, minimal)

Low - But you need to know about it.

Summary of the issues:

Observed behavior (What it did or didn’t do):

When you go to Interfaces, to rename it, when you save, it triggers a DHCP release / renew, dropping all traffic for 5 secs.

Desired behavior (How is it expected to or should behave):

When you JUST rename an Interface, there is absolutely no need to do anything else, than rename it :-)

How do we reproduce it (Provide instructions to help us reproduce the behavior):

Try "ping 8.8.8.8 -t", go and rename a Interface, ex. PortB for WAN, press Update, and watch the ping packets.

Other (Any other detail that we need to know about):

No, it would be great to fix this annoying thing.
