Ubuntu Server 19.04: Unable to assign a DHCP reserved IP

Asked by Diego Marino Monetti

I am attempting to assign a reserved IP from my modem/router/DHCP ServerTG799v2 router to a VMWARE virtual machine installed with Ubuntu server 19.04. When I go to make the reservation the router seems to do everything right but the reservation is not made. I don't believe is router problem because I have about twenty virtual machines where the operation works perfectly including an Xubuntu 19.04.

Of course I solved the problem with a Static IP but I would like to understand what is happening.

If you run wireshark on the DHCP system (if possible), do you see the request coming in?

Sorry but I can't install wireshark on the Internet Provider's Legacy
router where the DHCP server runs. I can install it on the Ubuntu Server
and try to log the traffic.
Or install the DHCP server on a Windows server I have and test.
But not before of the weekend.

How did you specify DHCP on the troublesome server?

The default installation of Ubuntu Server at the beginning. So the default
Cloud configuration in /etc/netplan.
Trying and trying I have in a second moment disabled the cloud
configuration with anyway no valid results.

If you set the interface to DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces does it work OK?

I didn't try. I knew that for servers the correct method to configure is
netplan and I used netplan. To configure static IP I have disable the cloud
configuration and renamed the 50-cloud-init.yaml file in
50-cloud-init.yaml.origin file and created a new netplan file that I named
10-netcfg.yaml that sounds like

reservation works because the desktop uses the Network interface and it
works. However I will try for you. But the question remains the same. Why
is netplan not working for reserved IPs?

Does this help :
https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-bionic-netplan

Do you have anything in the traditional interfaces file that may cause a conflict?
