I know that if I need to assign a static ip address I will need to use netplan in Ubuntu 18.04, and I have done exactly that and made it work.



Here is my config file:



network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
eno1:
dhcp4: yes
enp131s0f0:
dhcp4: no
addresses: [10.66.0.1/24]


After I use netplan apply, the ifconfig command shows the ip address of enp131s0f0 set to 10.66.0.1 after I plug the cable into the port for "enp131s0f0". This causes a problem because if I do not plug in the cable to this port, the port itself won't get a static ip address even if the ipaddress is set in netplan, this will cause some services to fail to start (eg, isc-dhcp-server).



For example, if you have 3 ports and you have configured them like so:



network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp131s0f0:
dhcp4: no
addresses: [10.66.0.1/24]
enp131s0f1:
dhcp4: no
addresses: [10.66.1.1/24]
enp131s0f2:
dhcp4: no
addresses: [10.66.2.1/24]
enp131s0f3:
dhcp4: no
addresses: [10.66.3.1/24]


If isc-dhcp-server is installed on all these 3 ports. The isc-dhcp-server will start only if you connect all 3 ports, if you failed to connect your cable to any one port of these 3 ports the isc-dhcp-server will fail to start because the port does not have a static address (without the cable plugged into the port), even if you set the static ip address in netplan.



So I would like to ask how to permanently assign a static address to a net port. To make it have an ipaddress before I plug in the cable... I need this because there are some ports on my server that currently I do not use (the cable is left unplugged), but I need isc-dhcp-server to start...

Here's a minimal .yaml file for your configuration... this assumes that 10.66.0.2 is an available static address on your network, and that 10.66.0.1 is the proper gateway...



network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
eno1:
dhcp4: true
enp4s0f0:
addresses: [10.66.0.2/24]
gateway4: 10.66.0.1
nameservers:
addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
optional: true # may or may not be desired, to stop 2 minute boot delay


sudo netplan --debug generate # generate config files



sudo netplan apply # apply configuration



reboot # reboot and verify operation

  • This doesn't seem to address the OP's concerns that having network cables unplugged on various NICs is causing problems. Your config resembles the OP's very closely, is the lack of a gateway address and nameserver what's causing the issue when a cable is unplugged?
