I just picked up a WS-C3750X-48PF-S. Is there a GUI solution available to configure it?

If your using the Cisco c3750X-48PF-S , you may want to try the factory reset 1st. then just use it with the defaults for starters.
Thats what i did with my C3650-24...and its running 17 cams just fine. I never needed to change any values in the Cisco...just plug in the cameras and go.

Most managed switches will just work straight out of the box as a switch.
But if you're wanting to use vlans you'll need to configure the switch.
I started by using the switch to connect the cameras with my dual-NIC Blue Iris computer. That worked fine to give the cameras their own network away from the internet.
Now I’m venturing into more sub nets for wireless light switches, a second camera network and an alarm system. So I need switches that do vlans and some routing functions.

What sort of routing functions?
That's a different kind of switch entirely.
You'll need and L3 switch for that.
Nothing too fancy, at least until I learn more, but to start, I want to pass time server info to devices that otherwise don’t get to see the web and letting a video stream and doorbell notifications to go to my phone from a camera that otherwise doesn’t get to leave its subnet. I like that enterprise grade switches can have some level 3 functionality.
Yeah some L2 switches will allow basic L3 functions like that.
Probably not your basic entry level managed switches though.
I’m specifically referring to the Alcatel Lucent OS6450s I got from the county. Some of the Ciscos they were shedding did similar L3 functions. I’m still trying to figure out what they can and can’t do.
I could actually buy fancier stuff from them for next to nothing, but the those machines start getting big and loud, and I barely understand the ones I’ve got. But if someone wanted to go for it, he could buy fantastically sophisticated machines for very small prices. The government gets grants to upgrade every few years and they toss out great equipment just because if they don’t, their budgets will get cut next year.
