Indeed; but this is meant to be that way -- there is no usefulness in having a network device listed in the file without any configuration, as you can always just do "ip link set $device up" to bring it up.
If there is no configuration, the device is left alone, as it should be. If you must have an interface brought up but with no addresses, you may wish to also set: dhcp4: off dhcp6: off These should force netplan to write out extra systemd configuration to disable DHCP, the new files present for systemd may help bringing up the interface. ** Package changed: nplan (Ubuntu) => netplan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763608 Title: Netplan ignores Interfaces without IP Addresses To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1763608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
