Unless the IP addresses are munged it looks like you have both
interfaces in the same subnet. Assuming that is the case for the moment
they probably would use the same default route and when one interface is
shutdown it removes what it believes is its default route which happens
to be the same route for the other interface.
What is it you are trying to do? I believe there are tools available to
bond the two interfaces together (assuming you have switches capable of
handling that).
A little more information on your network design may be helpful. And
why do you want to manually bounce the interfaces?

work for with a great deal of enjoyment.
