Security concerns GS728TPv2 with FW v6.0.10.5

 dread99a,

Welcome to the community! :) 

1. Though SSH has now been added to the switch.... SSH is missing in Security -> Access control section. HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, etc is listed BUT SSH is missing! How can I add SSH to my Access Control list as I did for HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, etc. so only specific IPs have access?

Can you try to update the firmware to the latest version which is v6.0.10.10 then check if the same problem will occur.  Be sure to clear the cache of your browser or try Incognito Mode (or In-Private Browsing) then access the web-GUI again and double-check it.

You can download the GS728TPv2 firmware v6.0.10.10 here. 

2. In the GS728TPv2 CLI manual, there is mention of how to access the CLI via TELNET but there is no mention on how to disable Telnet on the switch!!! Cannot find any way of disabling TELNET. This is a huge SECURITY HOLE. How do I disable TELNET on the switch?

Telnet access can be disabled via the web-GUI of the GS728TPv2.  On the web-GUI, go to Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Remote Diagnostics. When it is set to disable, the Telnet access will be disabled as well.
