netplan generate converts Netplan YAML into configuration files understood by the back ends ( systemd-networkd(8) or NetworkManager(8) ). It does not apply the generated configuration.

netplan apply applies the current Netplan configuration to a running system.

netplan try [ --timeout 120 ] takes a netplan(5) configuration, applies it, and automatically rolls it back if the user does not confirm the configuration within a time limit.

netplan get [ network.ethernets.eth0 ] reads YAML files from /{etc,lib,run}/netplan/*.yaml and returns a merged view of the current configuration.

netplan set [ network.ethernets.eth0={dhcp4: true, dhcp6: true} ] writes a given key/value pair or JSON struct into a YAML file in /etc/netplan/ and validates its format.

netplan status [ interface ] queries the current network configuration and displays it in human-readable format.

/etc/netplan/
Directory with YAML configuration files, describing the network configuration.

netplan(5), netplan-generate(8), netplan-apply(8), netplan-try(8), netplan-get(8), netplan-set(8), netplan-status(8).
