GS305/8E. Unable to save VLAN config.
I have GS305E and GS308E switches (Firmware 1.0.0.11) that I configured with VLANs.
If I try to make a change, when I access "VLAN - 802.1Q - Advanced - VLAN Configuration" I find "Disabled" and if I enable it I lose the previous configuration, even though I did "Apply" and then saved it in a config file.
In this way I can't even see the current configuration because I would find all the ports with only VLAN 1 Untagged.
Where am I doing wrong?
These switches come confusingly with different VLAN configs and settings.There are other VLAN config variants, different from the "VLAN - 802.1Q - Advanced - VLAN Configuration". When changing to this mode, the previously existing dot1Q (when I remember right probably all VLAN configs as rh UI says) must be redone. Suspect you had some basic 802.1q config or the plain port based VLAN settings in place before.

I understand, I need to select VLAN - 802.1Q - Advanced - VLAN Configuration.
This is how I see the previous configuration.
Thank you. I was "lost" in the menu.
