M4300 strange network behavour

We bought 2 M4300 stackable switches, but from the beginning we cannot get the network properly working.

 

At the moment we have a very basic setup:

 

Downloaded the latest firmware v12.0.11.13

Did a factory reset

Disconnected the second switch, so only 1 switch is operatable at the moment.

 

I want to setup a management vlan, so I can manage the switch over the network.

OOB port is working without problems.

 

management vlan: 200

ip adres: 10.200.0.5

I tagged a port with Routed Vlan 200

I connect my computer with a manual ip adres

 

So, I can ping the device:

(base) ➜ ~ ping 10.200.0.5

64 bytes from 10.200.0.5: icmp_seq=14 ttl=64 time=1.126 ms
64 bytes from 10.200.0.5: icmp_seq=15 ttl=64 time=1.371 ms
64 bytes from 10.200.0.5: icmp_seq=16 ttl=64 time=1.566 ms

 

I can get the headers from the management interface via Curl.

(base) ➜ ~ curl -I http://10.200.0.5

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Set-Cookie: RID=1391bc8665b8792b0a5211737d403d1d53b46b06fdeb; Path=/; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict; max-age=60
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html
Cache-Control: no-cache
X-Frame-Options: sameorigin
x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block

 

But I cannot get to the page. It keeps loading, also via curl or wget:

(base) ➜ ~ curl http://10.200.0.5

 

<!DOCTYPE html>

<script type='text/javascript' src='/v1/base/js/jquery.cookie.js'></script>

<script type='text/javascript' src='/v1/base/js/ng_tabs_Layer2.js'></script>

 

From there on it keeps loading. And I never get the rest of the page.

 

What is going on here?

 

Thanks In advance!
