VLan not VLanning on GS728TP
Have several cameras which I'd like to put on their own vlan. And I have a server that handles those camers, which I'd like on the camera vlan and default vlan. I find that the GS728TP has 3 default v...

Here is how it should be configured as shown in the image below provided that all devices are within the same subnet:About port 3 where the camera server is connected on VLAN 4, it should be set as untagged (U) with PVID 4. It should also be set as untagged (U) on VLAN 5 to have communication to the cameras connected to ports 14, 16, 18 and 20.
For ports 14, 16, 18 and 20, it should be set as untagged (U) with PVID = 5. These ports should also be set as untagged (U) on VLAN 4 in order for the camera server to have access to the cameras.
About port 23, I did not know that it is the LAN printer. Port 23 should be on VLAN 4, untagged (U) and PVID = 4.
About port 2, you may set it as a member of VLAN 4 (if ever you want it in VLAN 4) set as untagged (U) with PVID = 4.
You can use the default Voice VLAN for IP phones wherein an IP phone is detected by its OID (Object Identifier) and segment all voice traffic.
About the default Auto-Video VLAN, you can use it applications that run multicast traffic.

From what I mentioned on my previous response: "About port 2, you may set it as a member of VLAN 4 (if ever you want it in VLAN 4) set as untagged (U) with PVID = 4," --- I forgot to include that you will need to change the management VLAN to VLAN 4. To do this, access the web-GUI of the GS728TP switch, then go to System > Management > IP Configuration and specify VLAN 4 as the management VLAN. As reference, kindly read pages 27-28 of the GS728TP software administration manual here about changing the management VLAN.
By default VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN. Refer to the image below:
Set port 2 as untagged (U) on VLAN 1 with PVID = 1. In this way, only the PC connected to port 2 can access the GS728TP switch web-GUI and other VLANs do not have connectivity to it making it secured. Thus, only the administrator can make changes on the settings of the GS728TP switch.

I understand these things now.
But my question is, I want to make port 2 not just the management port, but I also want port 2 to be a member of vlan4. My prior attempts to do this failed, causing me to have to factory reset the switch.
In other words, I don't grasp the dynamics of input filtering (vpid?) versus vlan membership (vlan?) If I set port 2 to vpid4, I doubt it can manage the switch. I have tried leaving port 2's vpid at 1 and adding it to vlan4 Untagged, but it can not ping any members of vlan4. How can this be? It can still ping and manage the switch, but when Untagged to both vlans1 and 4 it cannot reach anyone on vlan4.
It seems that the sole determinant of vlan membership is vpid.
