Hi Harriet,

Could you please ensure that the details you are passing under the member parameter is accurate?

"member": {
"_struct": "dhcpmember",
"ipv4addr": "84.211.243.187",
"name": "test.com"
},

This has to be the details of the grid member that will be serving as DHCP server for the range you are provisioning.

Hi kvasudevan,

Ahh that makes sense. So it can't be any random member parameter. I got it now. Thank you for the clarification of what it's looking for!

Best regards,

Harriet
