I have the following configured in the Web Interface of my SG200-26 (firmware version 1.4.1.3):

After configuring this much, I have no problem communicating with the switch. My computer is connected directly to port 13 of the switch.
I then try to set the Management VLAN as follows:
Administration
Management Interface
IPv4 Interface
Management VLAN: 500 (was previously 1)
As soon as I apply this, I lose connectivity to the switch. This gives me these questions:
Why did I *not* lose connectivity to the switch when I moved the port I'm connected to (port 13) to VLAN 500 while the Management VLAN was 1?
Why *did* I lose connectivity to the switch when I set the Management VLAN to 500, matching the VLAN of the port I am connected to (port 13)?
What is the proper sequence of steps to follow when configuring a Management VLAN? I ask this because you cannot, on the same screen, simultaneously 1) set the Management VLAN and 2) move to the new Management VLAN the port to which you're connected.
