IP on a Vmware ESXi dedi

Sat Apr 23, 2016 10:52 pm

Hello

I installed RouterOS in a virtual machine in a Vmware ESXi.
I have the ip 62.x.x.x for the virtual machine. The ISP tech says that i must configure this ip 62.x.x.x with subnet mask /32 and to give as a gateway the main ip of the server but ending with 1. i.e. My server's main ip is 178.x.x.100, than the gateway of mikrotik RouterOS would be 178.x.x.1.

Such config works ok in windows hosts, but with MikroTik i get "No route to host", since the 178.x.x.1 is outside of the 62.x.x.x subnet.

How can i solve this?

Thanks guys

RouterOS does it like this:
/ip address
add address=62.x.x.x network=178.x.x.1 interface=<interface>
Edit: That was just point to point addresses, second step is the actual route:
/ip route
add distance=1 gateway=178.x.x.1
