Overview
In this release, we’re enhancing the features in Sophos Central and deploying some bug fixes.
An increasing number of customers are requesting remote switch command-line execution and management for cloud-managed network devices. This feature will enable customers to run switch-related CLI commands without any direct physical connectivity.
Command-Line Interface (CLI) from Sophos Central
This feature allows you to securely execute a set of CLI commands on a remote switch that is registered in Sophos Central, and to configure the switch in the same way as from the local command-line interface. You have the option to select a single switch, or multiple switches, to run a set of CLI commands on each switch, and get the output in Sophos Central, all without being directly connected to the switch console port.
Simply select the switch and click the ‘Run Command’ button from the dashboard in Sophos Central. This will open a shell window to run regular switch commands from Sophos Central and get the output as shown in the image below.
The output of previously executed commands is shown in the task queue for future reference, allowing you to directly launch the CLI from Sophos Central from the task queue page by clicking a previously executed command task.

Is there a place we can go to to see what the KIL, and Fix lists are, for each version release for the switch series? Referenced by Version numbers we can see for the switch firmware in Central would be nice.
