vROPS Cloud Proxy docker routing

I recently ran into a problem where i needed to route the subnet that is being used for the docker routing on the vROPS Cloud Proxy appliance. The network used is 172.17.0.0/16. For this we will try to route a portion of that subnet through my ethernet interface

To test the configuration out without adding a persistent route i used the following command:

ip route add 172.17.11.0/24 via 172.16.11.1 dev eth0 

Verify that everything is running properly, if anything went wrong the route should get reverted on the next reboot. If the changes are successful we can add the route as persistent by editing the network configuration using vi:

vi /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network

Next add something similar to the Route option

[Route]
Destination=172.17.11.0/24
Gateway=172.16.11.1
