Netplan and high availability

[Leroy Tennison]

It took a while to get back to this but bug 1815101 is finally filed.  For those who were part of the original discussion, if this affects you please subscribe to the bug and indicate you're affected too.  Question, if I can successfully run apport-collect (sometimes successful, others not), will it report the actual IP addresses?  What else do I need to do to "fully support" this bug?

Thank you - I definitely need to file a bug if I'm going to complain :-)  And I will try your suggestions for ifupdown.

However, when I tried to do that using a post on the web things appeared to work (no error messages) but networking got really weird - ping loss in the 20-50% range (and this was to my gateway on the same physical cable as my NIC).  Can someone point me to information on how to do this reliably?

Have you considered using the NetworkManager backend instead of
networkd? That might be another option. As for handling the foreign
addresses, please make sure you file a bug in Launchpad about this.
Then it's easier to see about scheduling time to do the work.

There is nothing more to switching to ifupdown than installing the
"ifupdown" package. Then, remove your config from /etc/netplan, and
replace it with the appropriate lines in /etc/network/interfaces.

If you're having issues like packet loss, then I would check whether
networkd still attempts to manage things -- this might happen if you
haven't removed the files in /run/systemd/network ... or easier,
rebooted since you switched to ifupdown.
