Hello Harry,
Thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community.
STP is not yet supported and would be under Feature Request. You may contact Support to have this requested and be linked under your account.
Meantime, you may use LBD (Loopback Detection) which is currently supported https://doc.sophos.com/nsg/switch/help/en-us/userGuide/features/configure/lbd/index.html
Thank you for your time and patience and thank you for choosing Sophos.

Saw your port this morning. I beg to differ, as this is from my switch configuration / CLI. Its says spanning-tree !!
If you want to set it I recommend you study Cisco Docs for CBS350 series, and tread GRACEFULLY, I don't have a clue as whether changes made from CLI will work with Sophos Central. I highly recommend that you create a backup prior to embarking on this adventure.
CLI on Sophos
set gvrp enable
spanning-tree mode mst
spanning-tree priority 32768
spanning-tree transmit hold-count 6
spanning-tree mst hello-time 2
spanning-tree mst forward-time 15
spanning-tree mst max-age 20
no spanning-tree

Hi AstaroNBack and Harry van Voorthuijsen ,
Thanks for your patience and I stand corrected on the last information I have shared above. I was thinking at STP Guard/BPDUGuard (which is not yet available) and got mixed up with STP then proposed LBD instead. Nonetheles, STP/MST/RSTP is already supported on Sophos Switches: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/sophos-switch/features -
With regards to the online help/documentation guide. I may have to check with the team. Kindly allow us some time to further check on this.
Thank you for your patience and thank you for choosing Sophos.
