    Ubuntu 18.04 configure netplan with 2 network cards

    Hi to all.
    I'm going to install ubuntu 18.04 on a small "server", not a real server, just a deliverer of multimedia files on demand, for a local network.
    I'm recollecting info because I still have not installed 18.04 (I'm still with 16.04 on my system) and I know than 18.04 ships some news like netplan.
    Now, my "server" has 2 network cards enp2s0 and eno1.
    enp2s0 is connected to a switch with 16 windows pc (windows XP sob...) obviously using samba, eno1 will be connected to a big server that broadcast internet to the whole building, with a "private" IP range and will be connected to 20 linux pcs (18.04) via VSFTPD. The 20 pcs will be connected via Wi-Fi, but the "server" will have a wired connection.
    In both connections the only job of the server is to deliver multimedia files to the pc that requires it. Nothing else.

    For enp2s0 I have fixed ip 192.168.1.126/32, gw 192.168.1.99.
    For eno1 I'm still waiting for an IP range from the network admin, anyway we can assume something like 192.168.2.xxx .
    Now I think I'll use systemd-networkd, instead on NM, because I suppose is faster and lighter, usually NM is so heavy to start at boot that gives me the impression that manages network in the same slow way.
    I understand that netplan is a very good and relatively simple way to configure the network devices, but till now I can't find, over the internet, examples of netplan.yaml that configures two lan cards.
    So I tried to understand yaml conf file and here is my hypothetical conf file:
    Code:
    network:
           version: 2
           renderer: networkd     
           ethernets:
               enp2s0:
                   addresses: [192.168.1.126/24]
                   gateway4: 192.168.1.99
                   nameservers:
                   addresses: [200.48.0.38,200.48.0.37]
               eno1:
                   addresses: [192.168.2.10/24]
    That will work? With this configuration the "server" will be able to manage at the same time the two cards? Do I need some more settings?

    Thx a lot for your help.
