50-cloud-init.yaml, optional: true - will the network interface get initialized if it gets online after the...












0















Good evening



Unfortunately, the Man Page: https://netplan.io/reference
is not precise in the description for the optional (bool) property.



If one interface has this setting:



ethernets: 
eth0:
optional: true


and the Interface gets online some time after the boot sequence, does networkd initialize it as soon as it detects the Interface?



I ask how it is designed/meant to be
and not how a specific OS Version implements it :-)



Thanks a lot for any help!

          Yes, it does. optional interfaces are treated the same as any other interface by networkd, they just don't block the boot.

            Without the optional: true statement, ethernet network interfaces that are not completely ready can add an additional 2+ minutes to the boot time.



            With the optional: true statement, the boot cycle will continue, without delay, and it'll bring up the ethernet network interfaces when they're ready.



            Unless you've got a specific ethernet network interface that MUST be completely operational for other services to properly start (like a WAN port), go ahead and add this statement to the other ethernet interface stanzas.
