Public bug reported:
The man page for netplan says:
Virtual devices
(Examples: veth, bridge, bond) These are fully under the control
of the config file(s) and the network stack. I. e. these devices are
being created instead of matched. Thus match: and set-name: are not
applicable for these, and the ID field is the name of the created virtual
device.
I create the following file as /etc/netplan/10-bridge.yaml:
network:
version: 2
ethernets:
ens7:
match:
macaddress: 52:54:00:98:18:9a
ens8:
match:
macaddress: 52:54:00:80:00:9d
bridges:
br0:
interfaces: [ens7, ens8]
addresses:
- 10.10.10.2/24
I run netplan generate, netplan apply, and see the bridge as expected:
$ ip l
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP
mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:f0:bc:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: ens7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0
state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:98:18:9a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
6: ens8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0
state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:80:00:9d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
7: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 0e:e3:1c:83:f8:e8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Then I remove the file, and run netplan generate and netplan apply
again. The phrase 'fully under the control of the config file(s)' leads
me to expect the bridge will now disappear.
It does not: the output of ip l is unchanged.
However, it does go away after a reboot.
This should preferably be changed so that the device does go away with
netplan apply. Alternatively it should be well documented that virtual
devices will be created but not destroyed by netplan.
