Thank you for your complete, thoughtful, patient, and professional answer. A favorite reflection of mine is, “It is as important to know what you don’t know as it is to know what you know.” The situation didn’t make sense to me and your edification resolved the conundrum.

All right, two things I would do when operating or deploying these switches: Ensure the password is changed away from the default "password", and a process is in place to ensure firmware updates (mainly for security reasons) is set in place.
