OS: Ubuntu 24.04
I have searched this for a while and seems i can’t get my search terms right.
Back when ifuo/down system worked custom scripts were put under ‘/etc/network/if-up.d’ etc. Now ubuntu uses netplan. But where to put custom script? That would handle tc rules in my case. /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d was told by internet but that just trows error during boot; ERROR:Unknown state for interface.
Ahh I see, I didn’t know what tc was and assumed it was a typo and ignored it. I searched for a bit for your specific problem and didn’t come up with much other than this:
You could also try
/usr/lib/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/
Looks like you can also specify the scripts directoy with -S flag
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/noble/en/man8/networkd-dispatcher.8.html
My other thought is: maybe the location for the scripts is correct, but you’re having another issue thats causing the unknown state error?
You might also want to make sure all the required environment variables are set correctly?
Per the man page:
“Scripts are executed with some environment variables set.”
‘journalctl -u networkd-dispatcher’ says:

I think scripts in ‘/etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d’ or ‘/usr/lib/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d’ are not ran because networkd-dispatched do not get interface state.
Based on https://netplan.io/faq > ‘Use pre-up, post-up, etc. hook scripts’; routable.d is correct location in my case.
