Thank you Schumaku & DaneA. I was managing it by plugging a computer to that very same default VLAN and configure an address in the 192.168.0.x/24 subnet instead of the "normally" used IP subnet.

If you intend to reach the switch for the management and for the other services to reach another system, the system IPv4 configuration needs to be adopted to the network, and as it was mentioned before by DaneA by adding ACLs if required to restrict the access.
