I believe the example was to move one connection between physical
interfaces, e.g., you move a link from serial 0 to serial 1. In this
case the configuration of the link stays the same but the interface
index changes. One thing I'd like to point out though is that your
polling destination also changes and this might warrant some sort of
indication in the database. Just a thought.
