Note

Please note that Netris replaces Netplan with regular ifupdown and attempts to migrate any prior configuration to /etc/network/interfaces.

  1. Reboot the SoftGate

user@host:~$ sudo reboot

Once the server boots up, you should see its heartbeat going from Critical to OK in Net→Inventory, Telescope→Dashboard, and the SoftGate color will reflect its health in Net→Topology.
