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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910775 Title: netdev does not support the independent flag for vxlan To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1910775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
