Thanks for you suggestion. I solved it another way.
1. Changed managed VLAN id to 1.

3. Changed back to original managed VLAN id
4. Problem solved.
I couldn't change to DHCP, got an error. But this did it

Hi Erik-NA,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly try the steps below:
a. On the web-GUI of the GS728TP switch, go to System > Management > IP Configuration.
b. Select Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) then click Apply.
c. Select Static IP Address then re-enter the static IP Address you've assigned as well as the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
d. Click Apply.
e. Observe if same problem occurs.
Let us know the results.

No, problem
I think this happened when configuring management after factory reset by changing all parameters at once, both static IP-address, gateway and VLAN Id.
I belive that the process should be to first set static IP-address and gateway and then apply and after that change VLAN Id.
