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.

Access list

Configure SNMP access lists to allow SNMP access to Sophos Switch. Access lists provide more protection when used in combination with other protective measures.

To configure an access list, do as follows:

  1. Go to Configure > SNMP > Access list.
  2. Click Add.

  3. Enter the following information:

    Option Description
    Group Name Enter the group name to which access control rules are applied. The group name can contain up to 30 letters and numbers.
    Security Mode Selects the SNMP version associated with the group.
    Privilege Mode

    Select No Auth, Auth, or Priv security levels from the list.

    No auth: Neither authentication nor privacy security levels are assigned to the group.

    Auth: Authenticates and ensures that the origin of the SNMP message is authenticated.

    Priv: Encrypts SNMP messages.
    Read View Management access is restricted to read-only.
    Write View Allows SNMP write privileges to the switch's SNMP agent.
    Notify View Select an SNMP group to receive SNMP trap messages generated by the switch's SNMP agent.

  4. Click Apply.
