Reference: Ubuntu 18.04 / 22.04 LTS
Please see netplan.io for examples on how to create various network configurations.
We would highly recommend using DHCP with a static reservation.
Please note that Ubuntu 18.04 / 22.04 does not send a MAC address for DHCP, instead sending a DUID. You will need to ensure your DHCP server supports this (E.g. Win2008R2+ ).
Checking interface name: ip link
Checking the DUID for an interface: sudo netplan ip leases eth0 | grep CLIENTID
Since Schoolbox uses Ubuntu Server, the netplan renderer will be as below:
renderer: networkd
