Ubuntu netplan config for secondary ip address

In case there's already a DHCP config for netplan for the private IP address:

File: /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

Contents:

# This file is generated from information provided by
# the datasource.  Changes to it will not persist across an instance.
# To disable cloud-init's network configuration capabilities, write a file
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
# network: {config: disabled}

network:
    ethernets:
        ens3:
            addresses: []
            dhcp4: true
            optional: true
    version: 2

To add a secondary, public IP address:

Create /etc/netplan/60-static.yaml

Contents:

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    ens3:
      addresses:
        - 148.251.64.58/24

Then apply config:

netplan try

Working perfect in Ubuntu 18.04 VPS.
One question...for adding more IPs we should add new .YAML files or what would be the way?
Thank you,

@miesismore you could add another file, or just add the new IP address in the same file:

addresses: 
  - 148.251.64.58/24
  - 148.251.64.59/24

@miesismore for more information have a look at https://netplan.io/reference (there's also an example page)

How to add multiple IP from 1 interfaces?

Thanks, worked on my Vultr droplet. Tip for Vultr people: you have to reboot from their dashboard (not console) first and then change the config.

@galaczi save my day. Thanks for the good tip!

On Ubuntu 20.04, I had to add 'dhcp4: true' on second file, otherwise my first address is overwritten

netplan get
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    hotplug:
      match:
        name: "ens*"
      dhcp4: true
    ens4:
      addresses:
      - "10.255.0.252/32"
      **dhcp4: true**

Thank you
