I also have this issue. Ubuntu, kernel: 20.04, 5.4.105-generic
Netplan configuration: network: ethernets: ibp73s0: dhcp4: true renderer: NetworkManager version: 2 card: Mellanox connectx-3 Adapter info (lspci -v): 49:00.0 Network controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3] Subsystem: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 116, NUMA node 0 Memory at e7500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Memory at e6000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=8M] Expansion ROM at e7400000 [disabled] [size=1M] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [48] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [9c] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=128 Masked- Capabilities: [60] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [c0] Vendor Specific Information: Len=18 <?> Capabilities: [100] Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI) Capabilities: [148] Device Serial Number f4-52-14-03-00-2a-c1-50 Capabilities: [154] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [18c] Secondary PCI Express Kernel driver in use: mlx4_core Kernel modules: mlx4_core Mellanox OFED version: 5.0-2.1.8.0-ubuntu20.04-x86_64 Network manager configuration: [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile dns=default [ifupdown] managed=false [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no [keyfile] unmanaged-devices=interface-name:ibp73s0 Running netplan apply does not configure the interface. Running 'dhclient ibp73s0' does. Running 'netplan apply' after doing that causes the interface to lose it's IP and return to an unconfigured state. I have a whole bunch of machines that are due to be upgraded from 16.04 before it goes end of life and they all have inifiniband interfaces configured with dhcp via /etc/network/interfaces (which works fine). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863529 Title: netplan not sending DHCP request of IPoIB interfaces.
