Correct.
And that's exactly one of these early Microcontroller based Plus switch generation with IP address and a Web UI, which does neither support non-tagged frames for the administration nor any non-default MTUs.
Clearly, the Web UI resp. the IP stack can't be reached over a fully all-tagged trunks as you claimed before. Sorry.

Well, it does work for me - I have no problem reaching the GS108Ev3 with the trunk fully tagged.
