Normally we would do this via netplan. But netplan lacks support of VXLAN (https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1764716). Therefore the next option is to use systemd.
In the current systemd version (as in focal) this happens: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17064 and the fix suggested here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17335#issuecomment-707852338 does not work since we do not want a network configuration at this point and the Independent flag is not implemented. So it is not possible to create *only* the device. Hope that clarifies a bit more, thanks! ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #17064 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17064 ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #17335 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17335 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910775 Title: netdev does not support the independent flag for vxlan Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: systemd.netdev does support the independet option for various types of interfaces but not for type vxlan. This options was added in a later release of systemd (247) with this PR: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/17073. Since it is currently not possible to create a interface with type vxlan it would be nice the include this change in the current LTS release (focal). "We also need": 1) Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, Release: 20.04 2) systemd: Installed: 245.4-4ubuntu3.3 Candidate: 245.4-4ubuntu3.3 3) systemd support the flag 4) it does not support it Thanks!
