Hi mayijie, indeed from your latest systemd-networkd debug log it looks like the enc1000.1300 vlan interface was created successfully, I wonder why it doesn't show up in your "ip link" output.. What I find interesting, though it that the enc1000 interface seems to come UP during boot, but then looses carrier briefly (cable disconnected? underlying VM reconfigured?), which interrupts the creation of the enc1000.1300 vlan. Would you mind adding the "ignore-carrier: true" setting to your enc1000 Netplan configuration and check if this makes any difference? Here's the relevant log where carrier is lost: ``` Jun 19 03:00:33 a90ubut15 systemd-networkd[964]: enc1000: Flags change: +UP +LOWER_UP +RUNNING Jun 19 03:00:33 a90ubut15 systemd-networkd[964]: enc1000: Link UP Jun 19 03:00:33 a90ubut15 systemd-networkd[964]: enc1000: Gained carrier Jun 19 03:00:33 a90ubut15 systemd-networkd[964]: enc1000: found matching network '/run/systemd/network/10-netplan-enc1000.network'.
