netplan error, unknown key nameservers

I have an error, but not a spelling error.

Here is my netplan config:

network: ethernets: ens32: addresses: [172.16.120.74/16] nameservers: addresses: [127.0.0.53, 172.16.1.5] renderer: networkd version: '2'

This displays the error:

Error in network definition //etc/netplan/99.clw_netcfg.yaml line 3 column 6: unknown key nameservers

Does anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately the netplan error messages often lead you to look at the wrong line. Lay your netplan yaml file out like this and it should all work:

network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: ens32: addresses: - 172.16.120.74/16 nameservers: addresses: [127.0.0.53, 172.16.1.5]

Note that the '-' character of your IP address should be under the second d in addresses from the line above.
