Problems creating reserved IP address in a DHCP Pool
We created a pool of reserved DHCP IP addresses under an older firmware release (13.0.4.13). We've upgraded to 13.0.4.17 and are now trying to both update existing reservations and add new reservations of manual IP addresses.
After the 13.0.4.17 upgrade, when I try to either add or update a static DHCP pool reservation I get the following error
Error! Failed to Set 'Host Mask' with '255.255.255.0'
The IP range for this pool is
10.4.0.x
I've tried a variety of valid host masks but they all result in this error.

Hi psda ,
Sorry about this issue, maybe there is a conflict somewhere else - can you edit your config file or do a show run like I do below, to show your static pools and your VLAN interfaces? Alternatively, please send your tech-support file (Diagnostics\Support Diagnostics to ProAVDesign@netgear.com) with a link to this post and one of our SEs will help you.
On my side, using the latest NETGEAR Engage Controller (www.netgear.com/engage) and creating a VAN 10 with your IP scheme, I can create plenty of static pools easily in Engage (Site Settings\VLAN Routing and DHCP Server\Advanced\DHCP Reservations):

exitI'm using the main UI and not the engage controller. I experimented with the engage controller and DHCP reservations but these only work if the controller is running and that isn't a viable scenario for our config.
What show option is dumping out the info you displayed above?
Can you do "show run" after "enable" so in global admin mode, and copy paste the end of the config here, like me, starting with the VLAN IP interfaces, and all the DHCP services under?
