I am preparing migration of an UBUNTU 16.04.7 server with 5 NIC's to 20.04. My testing server has 4 NIC's: 2 onboard and 2 as Intel Pro NIC. Configured in 00-installer-config.yaml. The first NIC is configured as:

  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp65s0f0:
      addresses: [10.1.11.230/24]
      gateway4: 10.1.11.11
      nameservers:
        addresses: [10.1.11.11, 1.1.1.1]
    enp193s0f0:
      optional: true
    enp193s0f1:
      optional: true
    enp65s0f1:
      optional: true

This part works. The next 3 NIC's are going to be bond0, with vlans on top and bridges:

  bonds:
    bond0:
      interfaces: [enp193s0f0, enp193s0f1, enp65s0f1]
      parameters:
        mode: 802.3ad
        lacp-rate: fast
        mii-monitor-interval: 100
        min-links: 1
  vlans:
    vlan1:
      id: 1
      link: bond0
    vlan11:
      id: 11
      link: bond0
    vlan240:
      id: 240
      link: bond0
  bridges:
    br100:
      interfaces: [vlan1]
    br11:
      interfaces: [vlan11]
    br240:
      interfaces: [vlan240]

The bond0 does not work. I have searched and tried all kinds of variations with ordering of NIC's, dhcp4: false, dhcp6: false, optional:true only using the IntelPro NIC's for the bonding. I have reviewed answers on this and other forums, but no solution so far yet.

  • What's wrong with my configuration? Anything missing?
  • Is the architecture I am aiming at still supported? I want my KVM guests to use a bridge so they can communicate with each other without needing the physical switch and without needing VLAN to be configured in the guests. This worked perfectly in Ub16.04.

My switch is a HP V1910-24G and has 4 other working trunks (LACP/802.3ad), with the Ub16.04 (4 NIC's)server and 3 QNAP NAS's with each a double NIC.

See the following outputs on my Ubuntu 20.04 with the above netplan config:

I am at the end of my options and ready to remove cloud-init/netplan and revert to the working configuration I had in 16.04. Thanks for reading this far.

  • Because this seems unsupported by netplan we follow this guide to remove netplan and revert to the ifupdown: linuxconfig.org/…

  • From the manual of the switch: Link aggregation (trunking): groups together up to 8 ports automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or manually, to form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection to the network backbone; helps prevent traffic bottlenecks. My new server exceeds that max, that I earlier interpreted as 8 ports per trunk, but it is 8 LACP ports in total. I will up date the above config with the working one.

I think your vlans are named incorrectly, they needs to contain interface name

  vlans:
    bond0.1:
      id: 1
      link: bond0
      ...

And I am assuming you removed addresses/dhcp on purpose from the example.

Update - sorry, I confused myself. You need to specify vlan number in bridge names, this is what is actually working for me (it is a virtual bridge for internal communication, no interfaces attached)

network:
  bridges:
    maasbr0:
      addresses: [ 10.244.40.1/21, ]
  vlans:
    maasbr0.2678:
      link: maasbr0
      id: 2678
      addresses: [ 10.244.8.1/24 ]
    maasbr0.2733:
      link: maasbr0
      id: 2733
      addresses: [ 192.168.33.1/25 ]
    maasbr0.2734:
      link: maasbr0
      id: 2734
      addresses: [ 10.244.32.1/21 ]
    maasbr0.2735:
      link: maasbr0
      id: 2735
      addresses: [ 192.168.35.1/26 ]
    maasbr0.2736:
      link: maasbr0
      id: 2736
      addresses: [ 192.168.36.1/26 ]

  • I have tested this. The vlans have changed from 'carrier' to 'enslaved' and from 'unmannaged' to 'configured'. Bond0 stays 'degraded'. Also the bridges are still 'degraded'.

  • Thank you for looking into to this, but this does not reflect the architecture I am aiming at. After looking very hard at the netplan documentation with a few people and searching the net we have decided to remove netplan.

  • It is certainly up to you, but I think that is not the right approach, netplan is here to stay.

  • I can return to it when the documentations are complete and useful.

  • To be clear about my setup: it works without the bond. That is a Bridge on Vlan on NIC.
