An error has occurred in vmnet2 setting,the subnet IP and the subnet mask are mismatch

I choose (custom specific network) vmnet2 for the esxi server,i need to specify the range of ip from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50 (dhcp)

getting an error "An error has occurred in vmnet2 setting,The subnet IP and the subnet mask are mismatch",there is any way to set the

specific ip range for vmnet2.

Are you using nested ESXi in VMware Workstation?

What subnet mask did you try?

Should the Subnet IP be "192.168.1.0"?

192.168.1.0 was accepting what is the reason for that, by default it was like that or any other reason.
