Why ppp0 is reported as both connected and disconnected?

  • 772

I have an Ubuntu 21.10 and I get the below confusing network status related to ppp0; RDS (aka StamAcasa.rdsne) is the name of my network connection providing access to Internet.

Why ppp0 is reported as disconnected by nmcli device but connected by ifconfig? How should I fix this?

$nmcli device
