  • I'm confused, and thank you for your answer by the way. Does that mean I have to first add the first hop for my gateway and then now that as you say the system knows how to get to the next network I add the 172.16.111.99 ip to my gateway again? Thanks!

  • The reason for that is host sends packet to ethernet address of the router and does not change destination ip address of a packet. So router must be in the same ethernet domain. Commented May 5, 2021 at 10:25
