Public bug reported: this breaks existing configurations with bonding on upgrading from 229-4ubuntu19 to 229-4ubuntu20 on xenial
as bond interfaces are now by default configured without ARP. Hence you suddenly lose network connectivity on upgrade. Very bad for a SRU. Plus adding "ARP=yes" to the Link section of a .network file does not work. Before this update, bond interfaces (specifically 802.3ad) were defaulting to ARP enabled. After the upgrade, they are created with NOARP set on the link. pre-upgrade: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> post-upgrade: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> Linux cnode11 4.4.0-97-generic #120-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 19 17:28:18 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: regression-updates ** Description changed: + this breaks existing configurations with bonding on upgrading from + 229-4ubuntu19 to 229-4ubuntu20 on xenial - this breaks existing configurations with bonding on upgrading from 229-4ubuntu19 to 229-4ubuntu20 - as bond interfaces are now by default configured without ARP.
