[ale] Multi-label names

[Scott Plante]

Do you/others set static IPs on boxes these days, other than the DHCP server and/or firewall itself? I was taught to make pretty much everything DHCP, and just set a static reservation in the DHCP server for the boxes where you don't want the addresses to change. That way, you have one place to manage all the addresses.

I don't have any answers. 

First, Ubuntu/debian doesn't use /etc/sysconfig/ anything. That's a 
RHEL-family thing, I think. 

Running a non-LTS is crazy, IMHO. In 17.10, network setups changed. 
They've added a new middleman - beyond resolvconf. NetPlan is the name. 
Sorry, I haven't looked at it at all, since no LTS has it. 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MigratingToNetplan might be helpful. Someone 
decided that yaml is easier than the interfaces file. 

I purge all network manager stuff and either have static IPs or use DHCP 
reservations from the network DHCP server. Find it is easier for my 
needs. I understand that network manager is better now than when it was 
when I had all sorts of issues with it. 

I've also found that purging avahi is helpful. It gets in the middle of 
name resolution stuff - I usually see issues with samba that are solved 
by NOT having avahi installed. 

But I really don't know anything.
