OK, I think I got it figured out. The GS316EP has a setting for Management VLAN while the GS308EP does not. I had left this setting at VLAN 1 (Default). Changing this setting to VLAN 10 seems to have solved the issue. Now when I plug a PC into a port on any of the 3 switches that is configured for Untagged VLAN 10, I can reach any of the 3 switches as well as have internet access. I am not sure what the PVID on the Trunk Ports should be but I have them set at 10 as well and it seems to be working.
A bit curious but using the NSDT only ever shows the GS316EP, no matter which of the 3 switches I am plugged into. This is not an issue for me since the 3 switches are all configured with static IP's.
Thanks all for the input!
