Any configuration changes made locally on the switch won't be synchronized with Sophos Central. We recommend making changes from the Sophos Central control panel instead.

Power supply

On the Power supply page, you can manage and monitor Power over Ethernet (PoE) power budgets, port settings, and PoE keepalive functionality on IEEE 802.3af/at/bt-compliant Sophos Switch models.

Note

Sophos Switches support PoE devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards. Devices requiring non-standard or proprietary PoE configurations aren't supported.

Supported models

The following table shows the Sophos Switch models that support PoE:

Model PoE Capable Ports PoE Standard PoE Power Budget
CS101-8FP 8 IEEE 802.3af/at 110 Watts
CS110-24FP 24 IEEE 802.3af/at 410 Watts
CS110-48P 48 IEEE 802.3af/at 410 Watts
CS110-48FP 48 IEEE 802.3af/at 740 Watts
CS210-8FP 8 IEEE 802.3af/at/bt 240 Watts
CS210-24FP 24 IEEE 802.3af/at 410 Watts
CS210-48FP 48 IEEE 802.3af/at 740 Watts
CS1010-8FP 8 IEEE 802.3af/at/bt 410 Watts

Continuous PoE Power

You can restart your switch while continuing to supply PoE to powered devices. Do as follows:

  1. Click your profile icon.
  2. Click Continuous PoE Power.
  3. Click Apply to restart the switch.

Note

The CS101-8FP doesn't support continuous PoE power.
