Ubuntu Server 18.10
Ubuntu Server 18.10
Hey there, newcomer! I'm just getting started in the tech world and still learning the ropes. I'm currently studying IT Security and have basic skills, but haven't advanced much yet. I recently set up a home server using a Dell R710 with 72GB of memory, two X5690 processors, six 500GB drives in RAID 5, and Ubuntu Server 18.10 installed. Everything ran fine until my networking setup. With four Ethernet ports, I connected them all to a balanced-RR port configuration—though I'm not very familiar with bonding and didn't dig into the details. The problem is that the system doesn't automatically assign an IP from the router, so I have to manually run commands like "sudo dhclient -v -4" every day. Have anyone faced similar issues? Any tips on configuring this setup? It's being used as a Samba server and a dedicated game server for a small group. Thanks!
I tried using Netplan, but it created a conflict. I can connect to the router and see the server at a different IP, yet it doesn’t respond to pings.

Hey everyone, just figured it out and will share tomorrow to confirm. Switching to Netplan was necessary since the Ubuntu server moved there, and I wasn’t sure how to revert to ifupdown. I found a guide on setting up bonds with Netplan and using a bridge, which seems to be working well so far. Thanks for all the help!
