[Bug 1745671] [NEW] ENI format - configuring metadata network-interfaces with iface defined twice but different family breaks all networking on cloud-init instance

 

Public bug reported:

Description of problem:
Configuring metadata network-interfaces with "iface eth2 inet6 static" breaks all networking on cloud-init instance. This only works when configuring a sub interface.

The following breaks networking:
~~~
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.0.166
network services
netmask 255.255.0.0
broadcast 192.168.255.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
iface eth2 inet6 static
address 2001::166
gateway 2001::1
hwaddress aa:aa:aa:bb:bb:bb
~~~

According to https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration , this should work, though:
+++
If you're configuring it manually then something like this will set the default gateway (network, broadcast and gateway are optional):

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.0.2.7
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.0.2.254

If you want to add an IPv6 address, too, append something like:

    iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 2001:db8::c0ca:1eaf
        netmask 64
        gateway 2001:db8::1ead:ed:beef
+++

And https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/ifupdown/interfaces.5.en.html
+++
Options are usually indented for clarity (as in the example above) but are not required to be. 
+++

The following works correctly:
~~~
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.0.166
network services
netmask 255.255.0.0
broadcast 192.168.255.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
auto eth2:0
iface eth2:0 inet6 static
address 2001::166
gateway 2001::1
hwaddress aa:aa:aa:bb:bb:bb
