Boot taking a long time

[Paul Groves]

Hi everyone.

I am having some trouble with Ubuntu Server 18.04 networking.

The system has two onboard NICs used in a network bond (bond0) in 
balance-rr mode. The network bond is working fine with both or either 
NIC connected.

When I boot the system from off or reboot I am presented with:

A start job is running for Wait for Network to be Configured

This is displayed on the screen for approximately 3 minutes at which 
point the system boots normally. How can I prevent this timer coming up?

I have this problem on two servers both running ubuntu 18.04.1 and with 
the exact same configuration.

Here is my netplan configutration which was automatically generated at 
setup.

Am I doing something wrong?

Paul
