in a lab network I try to virtualize a router that routes between multiple VLANs [2]. The Hypervisor runs Ubuntu 20.04.
However, I can only setup 21 VLAN bridges on the Hypervisor. As soon as I add the 22th VLAN bridge (or more), netplan throws an error [1].
That leads me to wonder, if netplan only supports a limited number of VLAN bridges?
[Edit]: This is on netplan 0.102-0ubuntu1~20.04.2.
Systemd unit output below [3]. More interesting is the journald output, which contains, among others, the line: Could not enumerate addresses: No buffer space available [4].
[1] The error when trying to apply >21 VLAN bridges:
root@test1:~# netplan apply
Job for systemd-networkd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status systemd-networkd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
