UPDATE 2

Top posting because it is needed to apply the suggested solution.

Found on second answer to this question: Can netplan configured nameservers supersede (not merge with) the DHCP nameservers:

This has been fixed in the netplan repository on github, and will presumably make its way into Ubuntu at some point.

Two new options have been added, dhcp4-overrides and dhcp6-overrides. To ignore DNS servers from DHCP you would do something like

Anyone knows how to update netplan in Ubuntu 18.04?

Original question

I have an LXD vm with 2 network interfaces. If I use Ubuntu 16.04 (interfaces) I have 1 default gateway. If I use Ubuntu 18.04 (netplan) I have 2 default gateways. How can I get rid of the second gateway?

UPDATE

Tried what @slangasek suggested and the second file is now:

root@servizi2:/etc/netplan# cat 60-locale.yaml 
# seconda scheda
network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
        eth1:
            dhcp4: true
            dhcp4-overrides:
                    use-routes: false
            routes:
                - to: 192.168.99.0/24
                  via: 10.0.1.1

But netplan try gives the error "unknown key dhcp4-overrides"

root@servizi2:/etc/netplan# netplan try
Error in network definition /etc/netplan/60-locale.yaml line 5 column 12: unknown key dhcp4-overrides

An error occurred: the configuration could not be generated

Reverting.
root@servizi2:/etc/netplan#

Wha can I do?

It appears you have a default route on both eth0 and eth1 that is coming from dhcp; and you want to use only the default route through eth0.

To ignore the default route provided by your dhcp server, you would need to use dhcp4-overrides, like so:

network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
        eth1:
            dhcp4: true
            dhcp4-overrides:
                use-routes: false
            routes:
                - to: 192.168.99.0/24
                  via: 10.0.1.1

This option is only supported in netplan 0.95 and later, which is currently available in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and later releases.

  • Well, I want a default gateway on eth0 which is generated by cloud-init. On eth1 I want a static route to another lan that is not managed by LXD. Seems that adding this static route generates a default gateway (destination 0.0.0.0) instead the route to 192.168.99.0/24. Hope it is more clear – Mirto Busico Feb 04 '19 at 08:18
  • Sorry, read your route table too quickly without scrolling to check interface names. I've fixed the interface names around in my answer, but the basic answer is the same - your default route appears to be coming from dhcp. – slangasek Feb 05 '19 at 19:01
  • Sorry seems not to work. See question update – Mirto Busico Feb 06 '19 at 11:04

    As I said, 'dhcp4-overrides' is only supported in netplan 0.95, which is not yet available in any stable Ubuntu releases. In the meantime you should use static IP configuration for eth1 instead of dhcp. – slangasek Feb 06 '19 at 22:32
  • Ubuntu server 18.04.3 has netplan 0.98 and the proposed solution with dhcp4-overrides: use-routes: false to avoid multiple default routes from multiple dhcp configured interfaces works just fine, thanks – fermar Oct 16 '19 at 19:00
  • Thanks for the reminder, I've updated the answer to note this is now available in 18.04. – slangasek Oct 17 '19 at 19:38

cat /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg

and
