Configuring Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS gateway
Posted on Wed 20 October 2021 in Ubuntu • Tagged with Ubuntu
The current version of Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS uses netplan in order to
configure the network. If it doesn't use cloud-init to provision the network,
the network configuration will be in a YAML file in /etc/netplan
. There you
can change the network parameters, such as the default gateway if you have a
fixed connection.
After changing them, run this command to apply them (remember that you may disconnect from the network, so don't run it from a remote connection!):
sudo netplan apply
