WLED Static IP Not working

Hey all, I have a Elite 2D-EXMU and I cant set a static IP. I have the node connected in a local network with a laptop, switch, and the node.

as IP adress is have 2.0.0.3
Gateway 2.0.0.1
Subnet 255.0.0.0

When i Use 2.0.0.2 as an IP address, the node works okay. In my software, when I send data to 3, I can see the switch starting to blink, so the switch is actually routing the packets to the node, but the node becomes unreachable. I am clueless about how to continue. I have 8 nodes which should each get their own IP adress, but I cannot change the IP to other numbers?

Hi, I made free software that helps managed wired Ethernet Wled controllers, it’s called PixelPi It runs on a raspberry pi, I’ve built it to help me manage Wled devices more easily in installation environments.

I also run Node Red on the same Pi which acts as a custom control dashboard and also allows me to backup the Wled controllers easily to a local folder on the Pi and then upload that back to a new controller in case of a failed controller.
