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 vlans, 1-Default, 2-voice, and 3-a/v. So of course I tagged the cameras and camera server on 3. But then the switch would not also let me put the server on vlan 1. All ports on vlan1 ate Untagged, and it won't let me tag any of them. It comes up with a BLANK message box and OK button, lol. Well ok, the docs say a port can't be on two default vlans and 1 and 3 are defaults. So I created a new vlan4 as Static and put the cameras there. Still can't tag the server to 1 where everybody else is. And even when the cameras are on vlan4, I can ping them from an untagged vlan1 machine. Anyone know wha-at gives?
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.

And here's something else that's queer: In Switching|VLan|Advanced|VLanConfig it says vlans 1-3 are Type Default. But when you look at them in Switching|VLan|Advanced|VLanMembership, 1 is Type Default and 2-3 are Static. What is this?
Latest firmware: 6.0.1.18
So, if the device attached to a given port does not understand VLAN tagging, you set it to U in its VLAN?
I guess VLAN does not work on the GS728TP with the latest firmware and this is hopeless.
I created two new static vlans, office and cameras. I Untagged the servers to office vlan and Untagged the cameras to the camera vlan. Then I set the pvid for cameras and camera server to the camera vlan, and Acceptable Frame Types to vlan only. Now no one can ping the cameras, including the camera server. When I set it to Accept All, anyone can ping the cameras, which is also wrong.
And then I try to clear the Untag for the cameras in vlan 1, it pops up a window saying, "VLAN 1 : VLAN was not created by user." Wat? I wasn't trying to create a vlan, I was trying to clear a port. So it does not allow me to tag or clear anything in vlan1.
I think it's clear this firmware is busted and vlan does not work on this switch.
