Module netplan 

Netplan network configuration actions (Ubuntu Server).

Netplan is the default network configuration tool on Ubuntu Server. It generates backend configuration for either systemd-networkd or NetworkManager from YAML files in /etc/netplan/.

When to use netplan vs NetworkManager

• Ubuntu Desktop: nmcli / NetworkManager (Phase 2a actions)
• Ubuntu Server / headless: netplan → detected via which netplan

The executor routes NetplanApply and NetplanGetConfig here when the distro is Ubuntu. On Fedora the actions return an unsupported-on-distro error (netplan is not installed by default on Fedora).

SSH disconnect risk

NetplanApply reloads network interfaces immediately. On a remote session, a misconfigured netplan YAML can drop the SSH connection with no path to recovery other than console or OOB access. The preview profile carries an explicit warning about this risk.

Functions

netplan_generate

Regenerate backend configuration from netplan YAML without applying it (sudo netplan generate).

netplan_get_config

Read current netplan configuration files via find /etc/netplan -name '*.yaml' -print -exec cat {} +.

netplan_set

Set a single netplan key to a value (sudo netplan set <key>=<value>).
