vlan configuration

I have a few vendor managed switches in my environment, netgear, dlink, tplink and they all play nice. I needed more ports in one of my closets, and the Zyxel GS1900-24 fit the bill. I am trying to set up the switch using ports 1, 2, 3 as trunk ports with tagged vlan ids of 100 + 200 and untagged management 1, which is how the existing dlink is setup and working fine for years.

This is not working with the Zyxel. In fact when I plug in the upstream switch to port 1 I see no traffic. I setup port 4 as an untagged member of vlan 100 with a pvid of 100 and nothing. I have port 10 plugged into an untagged vlan port 100/1 on the upstream switch for management purposes and when I plug in the tagged port 1 to the upstream switch I can't access the switch. I have to unplug tagged port 1 to gain Zyxel web access.  Seem strange since I can't ping the switch IP with port 1 plugged in (shouldn't the untagged management port work here?)

Can someone explain how I set the vlans up so they work? I have not had this hard of a time with any other managed switch.

    After rechecking my configuration I have the vlans working and they cascade like I expect. I had to move the management off 1 to my main vlan 100. That doesn't make sense to me but nothing to worry about. Thanks for reading..

    Maybe your other switch allowed for any VLAN to manage the switch?

    The other switches have vlan  1 as untagged on all the ports and it seems to work. I am OK with changing the management to vlan 100 just interesting I didn't have to do this with any other switch. Everything else is fine now the switch is up and running. Replaced the managed 10 port and unmanaged 16 port switches I had in my garage closet. It amazes me the price drops in managed switches.
