Gateway and Netmask Settings
These settings can be used on all of our servers.Gateway: 169.254.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.255
This works on Windows without issue.
On Linux you may need to add the gateway manually because most networking scripts do not support a netmask of 255.255.255.255
ip route add 169.254.1.1 dev eth0
ip route add default via 169.254.1.1
Add this to a startup script on your VM.
