RBRE960 : 400 Bad Request while adding Address Reservation
Need urgent help. I've a new RBRE960 system with 4 satellites. Internet is working fine. I am trying to add an address reservation in Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup. I add the device ( a printer) and...

NO NO. I have 50+ devices connected, but I am only trying to add 2 address to reservations.
Anyways I just reset the entire system and it works magically now. Save firmware as earlier. No idea what was the problem.

I have had no issues with assigning Address Reservations on my 960, but I don't have quite as many as you do.
I'm wondering if you hit some limitation on the number of reserved addresses. 49 seems to be an odd number, but you never know how things may be coded.
Can you try deleting one of the other reserved addresses, hitting apply, and then try to add the printer's reserved address again and see if it takes it. If so, try and add the one that worked properly and that you deleted, and see if it gives you the error again. If it is constantly giving you the error on the 50th entry - then I think it may be a limitation issue or a coding issue and not something specific to that address or device.
If it is a limitation/coding issue - it's something that will need to be addressed with engineers to fix/change code. For a device this powerful to have a limitation of 49 reserved addresses seems pretty strange - but I've seen stranger things.

Odd for sure. I've not seen that either.
50+ devices would fit in a smaller IP address pool range.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
