VCenter Appliance IP address and it’s gateway are not in the same subnet error

vmware-vcenter

I am trying to deploy a vCenter Server Appliance on a OVH ESXI 6.7
For those who know, OVH ip addresses and default gateways are at different subnets.

for example, if your dedicated server has an ip of 172.172.172.172 then the default gateway must be 172.172.172.254 for the VM inside of this host.

In my scenario, let's say my default gateway is 172.172.172.254 and I have arranged the appliance ip address as 37.37.37.1 and netmask is 255.255.255.255

But when I try to make an installation with my settings, installation does not continue with following error: IP Address and it's gateway are not in same subnets

I will try to set network configuration later on but if is there a solution for this problem, I would love to know.

The Default Gateway needs to be in the same network as the host using that Default Gateway. Otherwise, how would the host reach it?

Why are you assigning the appliance an ip address in another network?
