sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager
sudo systemctl mask NetworkManager
sudo systemctl unmask systemd-networkd.service
sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd.service
sudo systemctl start systemd-networkd.service
Add the interface configuration to the netplan config file (in the /etc/netplan directory):
make sure that the renderer is renderer: networkd
sudo netplan apply
