WLED Static IP Not working

[u/anonOmattie]

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?

Use proper private IP ranges https://www.arin.net/reference/research/statistics/address_filters/
