Re: Still unable to restart networking on Debian 9 text mode only
Here we try to post our e-mails to the list, so the whole community
would benefit from the answers. Sending a email directly to the list
subscriber is fine if you want to discuss something in private, which is
clearly not the case here.
And please do not top post.
Now, to the problem at hand.

And that's where you're doing it wrong.
ifdown tries to remove the IP listed at /etc/network/interfaces first,
and to bring the interface down next.
Basically you've just asked ifdown to remove a non-configured address,
but do nothing for the configured one.

A correct sequence to do this is:
ifdown <foo>
edit /etc/network/interfaces
ifup <foo>

Please do not do this unless you have BMC/ILOM/ASMI/direct console
access to the server.
