M4300 DHCP - System says No Free IP but I see loads

I am using the M4300 DHCP service to issue IP addresses in my Guest VLAN.

The subnet is a /23 subnet so netmask 255.255.254.0

DHCP is configured with 1hr lease times.

I can see addresses leased over the subnet with gaps in between as expected as leases expire.

But in the memory log I see the error message 

 

<12> Jul 18 11:47:36 M4300 Stack1-1 DHCPS[dhcpsPingTask]: dhcps_main.c(614) 3221125 %% No Free IP address to offer in pool VLAN50

 

What is the issue ?

    While many questions are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge. In this case you have asked about managed switches in the zone that covers Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    Discuss Ethernet Switches Plus and Pro Managed

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    Check for various troubleshooting tips.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
