Intel Edison usb over ethernet interface not created on Ubuntu 16.04

[PPart1]

Hi! I am using an Intel Edison. When I connect the Edison to my desktop with Ubuntu 16.04 I do not see the interface being assigned an IP address. The Intel Edison does get an IP address i.e. 192.168.2.15 but my Ubuntu system does not get an output. Below is the output for both the devices.
