Public bug reported: Currently DHCP appears to be an all or nothing boolean, which is insufficient for many network configurations.
Ideally all of the DHCP configuration options supported by systemd would also be supported in netplan: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.network.html#%5BDHCP%5D%20Section%20Options As an example, consider the following netplan configuration: network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: enp0s3: dhcp4: yes nameservers: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4] After running netplan apply I check the nameservers with systemd-resolve --status and it shows: DNS Servers: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 192.168.1.1 Here, "192.168.1.1" was provided by my DHCP server. On this particular node, I only want the manually configured DNS servers, but netplan has no way to indicate this. ** Affects: nplan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759014 Title: Netplan has no way to control DHCP client To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nplan/+bug/1759014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
