That's great!

How about existing configurations?

I have tested and know local config won't sync back to central. When that feature is available, shall I replicate my local settings on Central, then Central write back, and then I can manage remotely?

Do you have a Central Dashboard set up? Check in "Protect Devices" do you see the following section?

I have yet to receive the switch. It is still in transit, so I do not have the switch yet to test the features out. But If it can be managed in Sophos Central (with the support subscription costing 10% of the price of the switch) then I need to purchase the Support subscription, so I'd have to reach out to to a Sophos partner, which would be Corporate Armor.

Yes, you could work with Corporate Armor to get that. What model switch did you order i can grab you the right SKU for the Support.

SOPHOS CS110-24 SWITCH24 PORTUS POWER CORD C12ATCHUS

the non PoE model.

Firewalls.com has the 2-year subscription for $119.02 for that model. I also asked Corporate Armor for a quote through their website.

C12A3CEAA - 3 Years Support
or
C12A2CEAA - 2 Years Support

Firmware will be available either way in Central, support or not, for manual download and application on your switch.

Thanks. The two years support looks like the one to get. What is the difference between the Support, and the extended support?

Theres only the one type of Support & Services for the Switches which is available in 1, 2, 3 or 5 year terms.

Extended Support is for Endpoint and Server operating systems such as Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2012, Server 2012 R2 that Microsoft has ended long-term support for, but Sophos will continue to provide support for with the Extended Supp. license.
