# netplan - pydoc - phpman

> **TLDR:** Network configuration utility using YAML.
>
- Apply a network configuration and make it persistent:
  `sudo netplan apply`
- Generate backend configuration files:
  `sudo netplan generate`
- Configure a network interface to use DHCP:
  `sudo netplan set ethernets.{{interface_name}}.dhcp4=true`
- Try configuration changes without applying them permanently:
  `sudo netplan try --timeout {{seconds}}`
- Return to previous working configuration after failed apply:
  `sudo netplan --debug apply`
- Display the current netplan configuration status:
  `netplan status`
