I have created a new VM with multipass via:

multipass launch --network en1 -c 2 -d 100G -m 16GB -n microk8s-vm

On my router I have set a DHCP reservation, and ip a s enp0s8 confirms the correct address. The issue is my Google Wifi router requires devices to appear online to port forward and the VM is shown offline, even with internet and network access.

From this discussion my hunch is that the machine isn't using DHCP To workaround this I want to enable DHCP on the VM.

How can I ensure DHCP is enabled in the VM?

  • The device getting the correct reserved IP should mean DHCP is enabled, right? Maybe the question should be "What heartbeat signal do I need to send my router to appear online" – Justin Oroz Feb 27 '22 at 22:02

The issue was that the host machine was using Wifi. Switching to a wired connection the router was able to see the VM as online.
