I just want to know if I bought junk or if it can do this for me
I want to know if this switch can be configures as follows:
1) Have eight networks connected to it on ports 1-8 as follows:
1 - wired/wireless network internal to office with NAT internet access through port 8
2 - VLAN2 management network with VLAN tag with NAT internet access through port 8
3 - VLAN3 management network with VLAN tag with NAT internet access through port 8
4 - VLAN4 management network with VLAN tag with NAT internet access through port 8
5 - VLAN5 management network with VLAN tag with NAT internet access through port 8
6 - VLAN6 management network with VLAN tag with NAT internet access through port 8
7 - VLAN7 management network with VLAN tag with NAT internet access through port 8
8 - internet connection providing NAT for other seven networks - no VLAN tag
9 - Fiber Trunk connection with all networks to Fabric Switch # 1
10 - Fiber Trunk connection with all networks to Fabric switch # 2
any suggestions?
I also purchased a couple of F5 BIGIP 3600 Traffic Managers (DNS, etc) but haven't even been able to get a console response from either of them. :(

Junk? Not sure what you expect from a L2+ Smart Web and Cloud managed switch currently on sale for less than 50 USD on Netger's Amazon Store these days.
Lack of much details, two points hit my eyes:
1. For port 2..8: "[2...8] - VLAN[2...8] management network with VLAN tag"
This reads to me as you try to create some fan-out of some VLANs to gain ("console?) access to where you can connect either a OOB device network port [eg. your F5s] on one and, and a port where you can ad-hoc connect computer to connect to that management/OOB network. For this purpose, you won't tag the traffic on the port, much more run the port [2...8] [U]ntagged on VLAN[2...8] and with PVID[2...8].
2. Port [1..7] VLANs " with NAT internet access through port 8"
There is no NAT support on these switches - only inter-VLAN L3 routing is available.
