Overview
We are adding two additional 2.5G models to the Sophos Switch portfolio of network access layer switches. These will be available to order from June 14, 2022.
Newer Wi-Fi standards such as Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, which support speeds above 1 Gbps, are driving the demand for higher performance, more scalable network infrastructure to avoid creating bottlenecks in the future.
Switch Models
This release includes two new switch models, each with a combination of PoE-capable 1G and 2.5G ports plus SFP+.
CS210-24FP
- 8 x 2.5 GE and 16 x 1 GE PoE-capable ports (802.3af/802.3at) plus 4 x 1G/10G SFP+ ports. Full Power-over-Ethernet support, total PoE budget 410W.
CS210-48FP

Supportability Enhancements
Remote assistance using CLI and GUI : The customer can now share the remote access token with Sophos support and the team can analyse or debug customer issues more effectively using switch CLI access and switch local UI access. This feature provides quicker issue resolution.
Security Improvements
Strong password policy: Sophos Switch login is now enhanced with higher complexity in the unique password that was provided as part of the product and also allows customers how to create a stronger password when generating new user credentials. This will enhance login security.
