Hello!

So to make some things clear firstly, `192.99.xxx.xxx` is my Failover IP and associated subnet (`255.255.255.248`) that I'm trying to use with Proxmox on the OVH network, for which I have also already created Virtual MAC addresses for, with each being unique. This here is my `/etc/network/interfaces` configuration file: pastebin.com/P6RNWaTp

`158.xxx.xxx.21` is the main IP address to the server/hypervisor itself, with `158.xxx.xxx.254` being the supposed gateway. Yet when I run the command `ip route show dev vmbr172` or start an installer, I basically get the error that is attached to this thread.

What am I doing wrong? I have been pulling my hair out for days over this matter and would dearly appreciate any help, even if it's just a simple idea. I'm ready for any suggestions at this point after scouring Google multiple times. I am also using a `ISC DHCP server` but that doesn't seem to be causing any troubles, I don't think. If someone here thinks I need to upload the configuration to that then I will.
 
First install must be via NAT mode, but only not in the GUI anyore! Via console:

qm set -netX <e1000|virtio|etc.>[,macaddr=MACADDR]

After install edit:

Code: 
~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address FO-IP
        netmask 255.255.255.255
        broadcast FO-IP
        post-up route add Proxmox-GW dev eth0
        post-up route add default gw Proxmox-GW
        pre-down route del Proxmox-GW dev eth0
        pre-down route del default gw Proxmox-GW

iface eth0 inet6 static
        address A:B:C:105::yourIP
        netmask 64
        post-up /sbin/ip -f inet6 route add A:B:C:1ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev eth0
        post-up /sbin/ip -f inet6 route add default via A:B:C:1ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
        pre-down /sbin/ip -f inet6 route del default via A:B:C:1ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
        pre-down /sbin/ip -f inet6 route del A:B:C:1ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev eth0

Running a NAT is not optimal, as all the ports behind the Failover-IP need to be accessible by the world/public. Is there any other way I can do this, thank you? I appreciate the replies too :)
 
I still can't get the darned thing to work. Here's my configuration: https://pastebin.com/eJHSYmRz

Any further help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. I do admit to being out of my league with this stuff.

EDIT: The reason it's 255.255.255.248 is because the IP block is 192.xxx.xxx.xxx/29.
 
Maybe better

As you can see the Error say: "The network autoconfiguration was SUCCESSFUL. However, no DEFAULT ROUTE was set".
You must follow set the gateway manually as I described before. Also no NAT required.

You're brilliant! I have it working now, thank you :D

Thank you for your help too, Hollis!
