Hi Heinz,

I will double check and manually run if-up/down to see if that forces the script run before writing in the hooks in netplan.  Worst case I will just bypass netplan for now, since if-up/down still comes with 18.04.

On a running system, netplan can be removed by installing ifupdown, configuring /etc/network/interfaces manually as users have done before and finally removing the netplan.io package altogether. To apply the new setup without rebooting, users can restart the affected interfaces (i.e. using the ifdown/ifup commands) and then stop/disable the systemd-networkd and systemd-networkd.socket units respectively.

@Han

* What is your OS? According to OS, you should add the different script into a different folder 
	Ubuntu 18.04
* Do you have an ip command?
	Yes
* Permission of this script is 755.
	Will double check permissions I only had added +x, possible that it needs read permissions added.
* Do you have any iptable rules? Or firewall?
	Default install of 18.04, iptables has some docker rules but no rules for stopping any packet traffic.  Also no firewall running on this one.
* Do you use Network Manager or not?
	Not using NetworkManager
* Do you use the standard CA port or not?
	Using Standard port for CA

ubuntu 18.04 uses netplan and no longer if-up/down.
