SOLVED:: Ubuntu networking on OVH server - network unreachable

[dinis]

Hi.
I already tried two tutorials and none worked. Network.
Can anyone lend a hand?

Posting here both paths I tried:

1 - using this tutorial: https://docs.ovh.com/ie/en/public-cloud/configure_a_failover_ip/#step-2-edit-the-configuration-file
the commented line is there because I tried both (the commented line is the real macaddress, and the uncommented is the one the tutorial recomends)


2 - using this tutorial: https://kenso.me/how-to-configure-ovh-network-on-ubuntu-20-04-proxmox-vm/
again, the commented line referes to different options I tried


I shose a VirTIO network device

with a vmdk disk

Hi.
AT the end, worked the second tutorial.
The problem was that the file 00.installer-config.yaml was conflicting. I renamed it to 00.installer-config.yaml.bck and problem vanished.

Hi! It sounds like conflicting configurations might be causing your issue. For example, as you mentioned, renaming the 00-installer-config.yaml file resolved the problem for the second tutorial.

If you’re still encountering issues, you can create a new Netplan config file (e.g., /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml) with the correct settings and ensure other conflicting files are backed up or removed.

For a comprehensive guide on managing Netplan configurations and switching from Ifupdown, check out this blog: Understanding Ubuntu Networking: Netplan vs Ifupdown.

Let me know if you need more help!
