What goes in the yaml file where I have placed these question marks?
gateway6: "????::?"
Continue reading for more detail. OS = Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS I am attempting to set a static IP via netplan, (aka network manager) by means of editing the file /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml
Performing nmcli device show displays a line IP.GATEWAY but it is 2 hyphens. There is , however an IP6.ROUTE[1] that dsiplays what can only be described as technical network gibberish. How do I translate this output to a correct format inside of the yaml file? I do not know what dst, nh, and mt are or what these deep secrets are supposed to mean. What should by placed into where there are question marks?
$ more /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml
