FreePBX 16 «Network unreachable» after install from scratch

Hi! I got VDS and installed asterisk 18 + freepbx 16 from official ISO.
Environment: White IP from provider. 92.63.9X.XXX. Mask: 255.255.255.255. Gateway: 10.0.0.1

ip a
ip r
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
cat /etc/sysconfig/network

Network config output:

Can’t log in to GUI http:// 92.63.9X.XXX /admin or ping 92.63.9X.XXX.
And also from freepbx console when I try to ping 8.8.8.8 I’ve got an error: «Network unreachable».

Try to change GATEWAY with:
sudo ip route replace default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
But got an error: «RTNetlink ANSWERS: network is unreachable»

Firewall is disabled.
P.S Access to freepbx for now only through VNC from VDS provider.

When I configure network parameters and apply it during GUI installation, ping to 92.63.9X.XXX is ok and I receive response. But after installation is complete and reboot, the machine is unreachable.

Parameters during installation:

From who did you get that your gateway should be that ? It is not routeable over the internet, so traffic sent there will not go further unless you have a router serving a private network answering that address

It says so in the provider’s docs about gateway. I guess infrastructure is ok and provider has other routable IP next. It’s strange that when I install a clean CentOS, everything works fine. I can ping machine by address 92.63.9X.XXX. And on the machine I have internet. I saved some config from perfect working CentOS:

The difference only between routes. Freepbx has’t got gateway as CentOS.
As you can see, I’m not very strong and I’m trying to figure it out. Unfortunately, no matter how I tried to add gateway 10.0.0.1 on freepbx, I did not succeed and got errors.
For example:
sudo ip route replace default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0

Not knowing anything about your ‘provider’, my guess its they supplied you a router and you need your BOOTPROTO=“dhcp”.

Does this look rational ?

Set BOOTPROTO="dhcp" and IP 92.63.9X.XXX disappeared from login screen. Provider doesn’t provide DHCP.

Screenshots

BOOTPROTO="none"

BOOTPROTO="dhcp"


P.S Already tested IP address automation. It’s not working.

Thanks a lot. You helped to understand that the problem is not in freepbx. I’ll try to install on freepbx this crazy 10.0.0.1 gateway as default or I’ll have to change providers. If you have other tips, I’ll be happy to try.

Can’t really help without you providing a lot more details of your network setup from PBX to ISP.
