I do not know ubuntu, but there are probably two scripts.
pppoe-stop - To stop the pppoe connection, and
pppoe-start - To start the pppoe connection.

These two scripts need to be executed with root privileges.
Warning - the results may be unreliable. Sometimes the hardware needs to be reinitialised with a power cycle.
