Good intention on your part, but this is bad advice.
In /etc/init.d/networking 'force-reload' and 'restart' methods are
marked as deprecated. Specifically corresponding script says:
log_warning_msg "Running $0 $1 is deprecated because it may not re-enable some interfaces"
A good, Debian-supported way to do this is:
service networking stop; service networking start
Given that host in question probably lacks a console, above commands
should go into exactly one line.
PS. Why would anyone would run NetworkManager (better
called NetworkDestroyer) willingly on a router is beyond me :)
