Invalid gateway on install
-
Trying to do a fresh install of 2.7.2 and getting invalid WAN gateway using the following all fictional STATIC IP except last octet with Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and VLAN tagging disabled.
IP: 123.123.123.102/29
Gateway: 123.123.123.97If I exit to a prompt,
netstat -rnshows the IP assigned to the interface with no default gateway, cannot ping internet addresses. I just type the following and it works and I can resolve/ping internet addresses with no problem:route add default 123.123.123.97
I exit back to restart the install to get same result. The error is:
Cannot set WAN interface Default Gateway: 123.123.123.97
What's invalid or a workaround?

Deleting this as new information has come to light.. Thanks Steve!

That's a known bug in the Net Installer. It's fixed in the coming version.
You can probably just enter that as /24 for the install.

@stephenw10 Unfortunately /24 with .1 gateway did not work. This is a network subnet assigned by the data center, assuming that has something to do with it. It happened once before to me but in my lab where i had private network to complete install. I'll have to visit and do the install on a private subnet again or wait. Any idea of fix release date? Thanks for the info.

You don't have to set .1 as the gateway. It still has to be the real gateway IP. The subnet simply has to contain both the host and gateway IPs.
The next Installer version should be very soon.
