here am not able to ping to default gateway 157.17.163.254 from virtual machines (157.17.162.13)0 and 157.17.162.132


(in all VMs the output for route command is same)
root@station1 ~]#route
kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
157.17.162.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
