So if you insert a lan cable to the port allow-hotplug will see it and blink. auto will maybe not?

"If I power up a system with a built-in ethernet interface, but with no ethernet cable plugged into it, does plugging in an ethernet cable also generate a hotplug event that is noticed by allow-hotplug? Unfortunately no". / linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/… / unix.stackexchange.com/a/520633/29483 | |

I would also point out that, in most cases, cloud/EC2/VPS/VMs should use auto! I've lost networking with a nohup service networking restart before with allow-hotplug.

Depens. I had a case where i have to set to allow-hotplug because i wanted to ensure that my firewall would negotiate link AFTER the core switch totally booted and applied it's confiurations. In general cases, auto should be enough.

I see. However, in case of servers, the best practice is probably to use auto which will force the interface up regardless whether the cable is connected etc?
