GS108PE not allowing web access across the network
I have set the IP address within my management network and can access the Web UI when directly connected to the switch on the same VLAN/IP subnet as the switch. However, while I can PING the switch ...
Most of these Web configurable switches are not built on a managed switch core with a management VLAN and a management core handled by an untagged management CPU connected to an internal untagged port. There is a small microcontroller listening on all frames passing the switch, taking care on e.g. ICMP multicast or the managment IP stack. No management VLAN, the controller does not deal with tagged frames.
Technically, it does not matter over which VLAN the untagged management frames are going in and out of the microcontroller, relevant is just the IP subnet and IP adddress.
Few newer 10 GbE and Multigig Plus switrches (xxnnnEx) are implemented on a management core - there is a proper management CPU on a management VLAN. These behave more like a managed switch - something these Web managed Plus switches were never intended for.
