Description
While installing latest minimal ISO I entered in static network configuration Netmask: 24. The form could not be saved due to error IP address must be in form of: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Both the text of the message and location on the very first row indicates there was something wrong with IP address itself. Putting Netmask: 255.255.255.0 solved the error.
Please fix the location and text of the message.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Photon minimal ISO installer using static network configuration with Netmask set to 24, then locate the validation for that field and the form row displaying the error. Confirm that the message identifies the netmask and appears beside the netmask input, while accepting the dotted netmask value as before.
