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.

Target address

Target addresses are required for all notification originators. They contain the domain and addressing information that allows applications, such as the notification originator, to determine where to send notifications. Target addresses also contain information about how often and how quickly packets should be retransmitted. You can populate this table from information stored in non-volatile memory or add entries as new target addresses are discovered.

To add a target address, do as follows:

  1. Go to Configure > SNMP > Target address.
  2. Click Add.

  3. Enter the following information:

    Option Description
    Target Address Name Enter a name for the target address. The address name can contain a maximum of 32 letters and numbers.
    IP address Enter the target IP address.
    UDP Enter the UDP port used to send notifications.
    Timeout You can only configure a timeout if the notify type is Informs. Enter the amount of time the device waits before resending a notification. The default is 15 seconds.
    Retry You can only configure a retry if the notify type is Informs. Enter the amount of time the device waits before resending an inform request. The default is 3 seconds.
    Tag Identifier Enter the tag identifier string.
    Target Parameter Configure the SNMP parameter in different target parameters.

  4. Click Apply.
