I was caught out by this with a home server

configure networking has changed from that version to use a system

Doesn't ifupdown still work for
interfaces listed in
/etc/network/interfaces?
Hmmm, I'm not sure. Admittedly I was going for a
less common use-case
of a bridge between VMs and the actual home network using a fixed IP.
Going back to Henry's issue, I'd say ignore netplan for now and move
interfaces to interfaces.bak and create a new interfaces file with the
entries that Andy specified, as I'm beginning to wonder if all the
gateway entries (and the mixing of ipv4 and ipv6 in one entry) might be
getting the networking in a muddle...
With Andy's suggested interfaces, it comes back up as expected after a
reboot. I still don't appear to have IPv6 though, which is puzzling (I
only have fe80 addresses, which I understand to be link-local, but then
I know next to nothing about IPv6).
