I have set up a new installation of NOOBS on a Raspberry Pi 2. I configured a static IP address by adding this to /etc/dhcpcd.conf:
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.2.102/24
static routers=192.168.2.0
static domain_name_servers=192.168.2.1
However, there doesn't seem to be any default gateway now, so I can't access the internet:
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 202 0 0 eth0
$ ping -c 1 google.com
connect: Network is unreachable
If I manually add it, everything works:
$ sudo route add default gw 192.168.2.1 eth0
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 202 0 0 eth0
$ ping -c 1 google.com
PING google.com (216.58.220.142) 56(84) bytes of data.

1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 6.457/6.457/6.457/0.000 ms
But this needs to be done every time I reboot. I tried adding:
auto eth0
to /etc/network/interfaces as suggested on another forum but it made no difference.
Am I missing something?
Here is the contents of my /etc/network/interfaces:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
