Matching by MAC address corrects the MTU issue on both Ubuntu 17.10 and
Ubuntu 18.04.
I noticed one side effect though - this happened on fresh Ubuntu 17.10
and Ubuntu 18.04 installs. After adding the "match: ... macaddress: ..."
parts to the YAML file, running "netplan apply" caused the "ens7" device
to be renamed to "eth0". I'm not sure if this is related to my VM
configuration, or if it's a bug in netplan. After rebooting, the "ens7"
device name was used and the MTU was set properly. Details follow.
----
My "/etc/netplan/10-ens7.yaml" contains:
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
ens7:
match:
macaddress: 5a:00:01:7d:18:9a
mtu: 1450
dhcp4: no
addresses: [10.1.96.4/20]
Before running "netplan apply":
3: ens7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group
default qlen 1000
link/ether 5a:00:01:7d:18:9a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
...
After running "netplan apply":
4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc fq_codel
state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 5a:00:01:7d:18:9a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
