This output shows that you are using nmcli to manage network connections. Network-manager is not part of the Ubuntu Server platform, it is not included in the images Ubuntu provides for s390x, and it is not the recommended tool for configuring vlans and bonds in Ubuntu.
To show that this is a problem with the Ubuntu Server network stack, please reproduce this problem with netplan(5). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790098 Title: vlan created on bond fails auto activation on updating parent network bond Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Auto activation of Vlan created over network-bond fails if bond is deactivated and reactivated. Contact Information = Abhiram Kulkarni(abhir...@in.ibm.com), Mandar Deshpande(manda...@in.ibm.com) ---uname output--- Linux S36MANDAR 4.15.0-20-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 24 06:14:23 UTC 2018 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux Machine Type = s390x ---Debugger--- A debugger is not configured ---Steps to Reproduce--- 1. Created a network bond with static IP address (and no IPv6 address); active backup mode; ARP polling; single slave. 2. Created a VLAN using said network bond with static IPv4 address (and no IPv6 address). 3. Can ping from the appliance to a target on both links (the parent bond and the VLAN). 4. Switched to another slave for the created bond 5. Can still ping from the appliance to a target via the parent bond; however, cannot ping to the target via the VLAN. ============================================================================= Detailed steps: 1.
