Closing as Fix Released for upstream and for disco (netplan.io 0.95 contained the fix):
netplan.io (0.95) disco; urgency=medium . * New upstream release: - Added support for WPA Enterprise / 802.1x authentication (LP: #1739578) - Added support for setting up IP tunnels; supporting the types: ipip, gretap, VTI, ISATAP (NetworkManager only), sit, gre, ipip6 and ip6ip6. + Fixes sit (ipv6) tunnels using Hurricane Electric (LP: #1799487) - Add support to override networkd UseMTU setting (LP: #1807273) - Generate output files in dependency order - Refactored unit and integration tests, along with various cleanups. - Add DHCP overrides to control route usage and default metric for DHCP routes. (LP: #1776228) - Mitigate against bad matching on devices behind bonds then they share the same MAC from a physical interface. (LP: #1804861) - Added snapcraft.yaml. ** Description changed: + [Impact] + DHCP configurations where custom settings (MTU) need to be applied. This is a subset of the changes presented in bug 1759014. + + [Test case] + 1) Configure netplan for the particulars of the network by configuring an appropriate dhcp{4,6}-override stanza: + + network: + version: 2 + ethernets: + engreen: + dhcp4: true + dhcp4-overrides: + use-mtu: false + + Additionally, if so required, add a custom MTU to the configuration. + e.g. + + mtu: 1700 + + (See https://netplan.io/reference#dhcp-overrides for the available + options) + + 2) Run 'netplan apply' or reboot to have the configuration applied. + 3) Validate that the routes / DNS are properly ignored and/or replaced by the defined values. + + [Regression potential] + Minimal; this adds new values to the configuration generated for networkd or NetworkManager. Existing configurations will remain unchanged, but new configurations using the dhcp{4,6}-overrides fields will benefit from additional flexibility. + + --- + This is very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724895, but I decided to open this as i have tried what has succeeded for others. Thanks for any assistance. I'm trying to set the MTU to 1500 and using a match on mac address, but after a netplan apply or reboot, it does not change or stick. This is on a EC2 T2.Medium instance. Actual configuration from a dev server: network: - version: 2 - ethernets: - eth0: - match: - macaddress: 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 - mtu: 1500 - dhcp4: true - nameservers: - search: [ devbuilds.vpc, ec2.internal ] + version: 2 + ethernets: + eth0: + match: + macaddress: 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 + mtu: 1500 + dhcp4: true + nameservers: + search: [ devbuilds.vpc, ec2.internal ] $> cat /var/run/systemd/network/10-netplan-eth0.link [Match] MACAddress=12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 [Link] WakeOnLan=off MTUBytes=1500 $> cat /var/run/systemd/network/10-netplan-eth0.network [Match] MACAddress=12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 [Network] DHCP=ipv4 Domains=devbuilds.vpc ec2.internal [DHCP] UseMTU=true RouteMetric=100 $> ip link show eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9001 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 - link/ether 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + link/ether 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff # manually set MTU $> sudo ip link set dev eth0 mtu 1500 $> ip link show eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 - link/ether 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + link/ether 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $> sudo netplan generate $> sudo netplan apply $> ip link show eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9001 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 - link/ether 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + link/ether 12:0f:ae:49:5d:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff The last netplan commands could be replaced with a reboot with the same result. This configuration seemed to help others, so hopefully i'm simply missing something or perhaps this is related to EC2?
