Netplan generates configuration snippets to make sure an interface is only handled by the backend renderer (networking-daemon: sd-networkd or NetworkManager) that is instructed to control that interface nowadays. This logic has been improved recently: https://github.com/canonical/netplan/pull/276
Please re-open if this is still an issue. ** Changed in: nplan (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ifupdown in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713226 Title: systemd-networkd messes up networking Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nplan package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Since systemd-234-2ubuntu8 systemd-networkd is enabled by default. This causes problems existing configurations ex1: if the network has ipv6 enables (the host recieves a router advertisement), networkmanager does not configure the network anymore so you get only ipv6 and no ipv4 connections (since systemd-networkd seems to bring only the link up) ex2: if you use systemd-nspawn and configured static ip addresses in /etc/network/interfaces, systemd-networkd adds a dhcp obtained address on the host0 adapter and a 169.254 address For the average user both is not expected, so my solution was systemctl disable systemd-networkd, but since you seem to insist having this enabled, it must be made sure systemd-networkd does not touch existing configurations. My suggestion is: 1) if /etc/network/interfaces contains anything other than lo -> do not enable systemd-networkd 2) if network-manager is enabled, systemd-networkd must be disabled and vice versa To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1713226/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
