networkconfig fails if gateway is outside of the subnet

[BirknerAlex]

Hi,

we run recently in an issue in our new network setup where we are using EVPN, VXLAN and some other technologies, means our hosts getting just an IP with /32 assigned.

I saw there is maybe an fix already for that: https://review.opendev.org/c/x/cloudbase-init/+/886824

It would be awesome if that could be merged. Would it be possible to create a nightly build for us where this change is included? I would love to test it and report back if that works.

Thank you very much!

Regards
Alex

I have tested the patch https://review.opendev.org/c/x/cloudbase-init/+/886824 against the latest stable and can confirm the change does work on Windows Server 2022.
