GS728TPv2 doesn't seem to support LLDP-Mib
I have a GS728TPv2 that I found does not appear to support LLDP-MIB. It gives OID not found and also doesn't list it on the MIB page. I THOUGHT it did, I thought I had tried this some time ago....
The older Smart Managed Switches offered various OID subsets, like some proprietary/private MIB as well as some less common ISO ones like iso(1).std(0).iso8802(8802).ieee802dot1(1).ieee802dot1mibs(1).lldpMIB(2).
If it's not listed, it's not supported 8-/
"Not listed, not supported" ... ok. What I expected if not hoped, was hoping I missed a setting.
It's mildly strange it has broad SNMP support, supports LLDP, but they didn't include the LLDP MIB for SNMP, especially when on a less managed, much much older switch (MUCH older) it works beautifully.

Perfectly correct. My first impression this might be a private MIB extension proofed wrong.
Netgear also failed to return the NETGEAR-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB on newer Smart Managed Switch models for continuity...
Iphie_C please.
It's really annoying that most manufacturers always have their own tools, and say (explicitly or implicitly) "Why do you need SNMP just use XXX (non-standard only works for our stuff but you should only buy our stuff)".
Even Cisco is getting that way, we had a killer problem on an ASA with about 3-4 more years of software and hardware support with a significant SNMP bug (traps just stopped working). They decided they were not going to bother fixing it at all in that line (5516X). This was a year or so ago. Because... well, you should use our firepower software and management console of course, not SNMP traps.
Sigh.... all this software is basically free for them (a tiny bit of integration and memory). It's just mind boggling why they take features away enterprise users need (ok, in my case it's my home, but I use it because I use it for enterprise clients and this gives me a test bed).
