The Management IP range is separate to the sites Admin or Curriculum ranges and allow connection to the switch from the Admin
network or from a remote site such as the CSC. The Default gateway for this entry is usually one IP less than that of the switch and the
Subnet mask is also different to the normal school mask. Check these settings with the CSC if you are unsure.
The admin password is calculated from the site ID number and the manager and monitor passwords are standard for all sites and
switch models. Contact the CSC if you are unsure of these details. Do not make up a password for any of the Core Switch user
accounts.

Port 25 and port 26, in a 3Com 4400 are created when a stacking module is added or if you are using these notes for a 3Com 4200
series switch ports 25 and 26 are in the front panel of the switch. If you are using a stacking module, the Firmware version 4.1 you may
need to set the port speed for this port manually as the firmware may not detect the port speed automatically. This setting can be done
easily from the Web interface.
"
Throughout these notes, for the purpose of clarity, the main menu will be used as the starting point for configuration changes. The
lower level menus can create confusion but you can ignore the repeated instruction to press [Esc] if you understand your position in the
menu hierarchy.
