Not sure about that console server.

If the ports are numbered 25 - 28 I think that would imply that they are
separate ports. I wouldn't have thought using port 25 would disable port
1. I've never used a TurboIron, but on for example a FastIron FESX,
ports 1-4 are dual personality, and they are called ports 1 - 4 no
matter which media is in use.

You can use the keyword "management-vlan" in any VLAN to restrict
management to only that VLAN.
