Uplink IP
I have another curious issue. I am running multiple switches in my environment and when I look at the connected neighbors every link between the switches has a foreign IP that does not match the IP ...
I got your private message and forwarded the diagnostics file to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support to check it.
I just got feedback and it was confirmed that there are network parameters set to 169.254.0.239. This is the cause on why the switch advertise this as its Mngt IP Address. The only way to clear this is to factory reset the switch and reconfigure it. To reconfigure it, be sure to delete it from NETGEAR Insight then re-add it. Do NOT reload the configuration on the switch but be sure to reconfigure the settings via NETGEAR Insight.

From the image you have attached, are you able to login to the GC728XP switch using the Management IP Address you assigned to it?
The 169.254.X.X address shown as the Mngt IP Address under the Neighbor Info section is a self assigned IP Address. This means it didn't get a DHCP address or it has a static address at the time of LLDP message. It is possible that there is an interface on the switch that has a self assigned address and is sending that as its management IP address.

DaneA the OP clearly stated the configured IP addresses, the screenshot does proof the IP connectivity to reach the Insight infrastructure is perfectly working - best guess over the 10.0.0.0/20 network, not over ZeroConf ...
Probably something going mad due to the 10.0.0.0/20 subnet - but unclear how the ZeroConf address comes into the game at all. Don't see this issue on a larger amount of Insight managed environments.
