GS305E Static IP

I'm trying to assign a static IP to my GS305E. Seems it won't allow me to use a 10.1.1.x address, but it will allow a 192.168.x.x address. Why should this matter? It will accept a 10.1.1.x address via DHCP just fine, though.

schumaku thanks for your reply and testing. I'm not sure why, but it worked fine this morning when I tried again. I can't explain it, but I'll take it for now. Sorry to waste your time. Oh, my firmware is the latest version, V1.0.0.16.

Have deployed a different IP subnet here in my new home, since the ISP router defaulted to the ubiquitous 192.168.1.x/24, so took the plunge and disbled the DHCP mode on the GS308E (very similar to your GS305E):

Can't follow you what you want to say with "it does not take" ....

Needless to say, but I'll do it anyway: The default gateway must of course reside in the same IP subnet and IP address range.

Is there a recent or better current firmware to your GS305E switch? Just in case ...
