I always reboot after every reconfiguration, because I can, and usually
when I wildly change the networking configuration like that the
networking service fails to upgrade, and with it everything else, so I
can’t do anything with the machine before rebooting it.

However, as I was trying a NetworkManager-based solution today, I
noticed that the configuration persists after a reboot: NetworkManager
tried to replicate what was there before. So I would not be surprised
if other pieces of networking configuration could survive a reboot.
