While connected over SSH to an Ubuntu server, you edit /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml to replace DHCP with a static IPv4 configuration. You want to test the new settings but automatically roll them back after the default timeout if you do not confirm them, so you do not lock yourself out of the remote system. Which single command should you run?
The netplan try sub-command applies the current Netplan YAML to the running system in trial mode. It starts a 120-second countdown; if you confirm the change (e.g., by pressing Enter), it stays active, but if you do nothing or lose the connection it automatically reverts, preventing an accidental lock-out.
netplan apply would activate the changes permanently with no automatic rollback.
netplan generate only writes back-end configuration files; it does not bring interfaces up.
netplan status merely displays the current network state and cannot apply configuration.
