Ubuntu Netplan 101

In many of my previous presentations we have configured networking for Docker and LXD using built-in commands for those containers. The CLI for both Docker and LXD allow you to configure your network interfaces.
In this video, we learn how to use Netplan to configure network interfaces.

Hey man, just wanted to give thanks. Was banging my head against the wall trying to get this working before stumbling on your video. Not all heroes wear capes... Thanks for a fantastic guide.

Awesome. Hope you subscribe and check out my other content. I focus on networking and containers (LXD, Docker). Consider coming by chat.scottibyte.com/ to chat or just say hi.

Hi Scott, Thank you for your video. I donot have a bridge network but I have 2 x 10G network port one connected to IPMI network and another one is connected to normal network , do I need STP settings under parameter?

[@scottibyte]

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is only useful in a complex network with multiple paths where you might have an unintended loop back on a network. It doesn't hurt to have it on and I generally include it because it certainly will not break a network.

Can anyone suggest how to set NIC to peomiscuous mode with Netplan

[@scottibyte]

You can come by the chat at chat.scottibyte.com/ and ask the folks.

[@danielberglv259]

I would properly just forgo the STP parameters. STP is quite complex and requires a great deal more, than simply adding a parameter on a single server. Also unless you have designed your own mini-server center with a ton of redundant network paths, there is no real benefit from playing around with it. It just adds confusion to the video.

[@scottibyte]

It is included because STP has become almost a standard default enabled setting on most newer routers. My videos are targeted at those who have never done these things before and I minimize any attempts to deep dive. Thx for your comment.
