Uplink IP
I have another curious issue. I am running multiple switches in my environment and when I look at the connected neighbors every link between the switches has a foreign IP that does not match the IP ...
I got your private message and forwarded the diagnostics file to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support to check it.
I just got feedback and it was confirmed that there are network parameters set to 169.254.0.239. This is the cause on why the switch advertise this as its Mngt IP Address. The only way to clear this is to factory reset the switch and reconfigure it. To reconfigure it, be sure to delete it from NETGEAR Insight then re-add it. Do NOT reload the configuration on the switch but be sure to reconfigure the settings via NETGEAR Insight.

Thanks for posting the updates about the steps you did.
New wrinkle:
Yesterday I performed the following steps:went in and . then di.
1. removed all the switches via the phone app
2. factory reset all switches via the reset button on the switches
3. disconnected a fiber port on the LAG
4. added Core Switch via phone app
This came up with correct IP and all connected neighbors had the correct Mgmt IP
5. Added Leaf Switch
This too came up with correct IP and neighbors
6. Created LAG between Core and Leaf switch 10G sfp+ ports 27 amd 28
after this step the mgmt IP for the leaf switch reports as 169.254.0.239, and the other switch which should show a mgmt ip of 10.0.0.5 attached to port 4 of the core shows 169.254.0.239 for a mgmt IP.
So the question now becomes , Do I RMA the core switch becuase none of the steps I took resolve the issue.
On step 4, you mentioned that the Core was added back in and it said all neighbors had the correct Mgmt IP, yet this was the first switch you have added back in so there should have been NO neighbors.
Does it mean that only the devices connected over LAGs are showing the 169.254.0.239 addresses?
Kindly send me via private message the config file of both the Core, the working leaf and the "broken" lagged leaf. You may upload the config files via Google Drive then send me a download link to it.

Forgive the lack of clarity at step 4. After I removed the switches and performed the hard reset, they all came up, albeit not in insight. They all get an address from the DHCP server, so when I added the Core switch it did show the IPs on the interfaces for the neigbors even though they were not included in insight. if that makes sense. I then added the other switches and neighbor IPs were as expected. When I crereated the LAG that's when it went wonky. I deleted the LAG and the IPs were persistent in the neighbor view.
