Hi Corentin

Nice to see some basic tests.

This is going to be problematic.

3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 8e:01:30:d5:63:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: lan1@eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 8e:01:30:d5:63:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

lan1 has eth1 as its master interface. If you try to up lan1 while eth1 is down:

# ip link set lan1 up
RTNETLINK answers: Network is down

Because of the grep, on this board, you won't actually test
lan1. Which is a shame. It would be nice to test it, and the other
interfaces like it.

Rather than going on the order ls gives you, could you order it based
on the ifnum? The master has to exist before a slave can be
created. Hence the master has a lower ifnum than the slave. So bring
the interfaces up in ifnum order, and down in reverse order.
