Hi Chuck -
From an ICN perspective the change would be a manual one in ICN Admin Desktop where the CPE connection URI and method is altered.
There is no current way to programmatically automate or script out these types of administrative actions, unfortunately.
As far as downside or performance related guidance on the switch, none is documented on the ICN side. I would think CPE resources may be able to offer something, though.
