Central Switch – December Update

I am pleased to announce that the December update for Central Switch management is now available in Sophos Central. 

New Features

Loopback detection

This feature prevents loops, the switch sends loopback packets and shuts down any ports that receive a loopback packet from itself. From Sophos Central, you can configure loopback detection on the Switch management>Port settings page.

DoS Settings

This feature allows you to enable, disable, or not set the DoS feature on your switches offering protection from common denial-of-service attacks.

From Sophos Central, you can configure DoS detection on the Switch management>Security page. For additional information on the DoS feature visit https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/switch/help/en-us/userGuide/features/security/denialOfService/index.html.
