In order to get flexibility that Netplan provides, we need to change this renderer to use systemd-networkd. What this means to us, the humble admin, is that NetworkManager is what is handling network devices by default. yaml, that contains something like this: # Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system If you look in /etc/netplan, you’ll find a file ending in. To start in Netplan, we need to define the network. Netplan configuration is in YAML, and while YAML is generally quick to sort out here is a great source to learn the ins and outs of the markup language. Starting Outīefore you touch anything regarding the configuration, I’m going to recommend you at least take a look at the man page for Netplan, or some of the documentation written by its creators available here. Sounds a little complex, right? With Netplan it isn’t too bad, but we need to understand a few things. We want the NIC and WiFi elements to be static, and the bridge to provide DHCP addresses. You want both the WiFi and NIC to be able to talk as they normally do, and you want to be able to create a network bridge using the NIC specifically for virtual machines to use. In this example let’s say that you have a home server, and that home server has WiFi and has a single NIC.

It’s also a problem of newness- good resources on how to configure it for specific use-cases simply aren’t there. The problem is one of simplicity it doesn’t necessarily talk about larger examples, nor potentially complex ones. Very simple configurations have been fleshed out in a few places, including Ubuntu’s own website. Netplan, as a system, is what is replacing NetworkManager for handling network devices which means if you are doing any sort of real work with an Ubuntu server, you need to learn it. One of the newer features to Ubuntu (Integrated into 17.10, and a part of the 18.04 LTS build) is Netplan.
