Mount and Power Up the Switch

Mount the switch in the rack
If you want to mount the switch in a rack, please use the supplied rackmount kit for this device where available. For instructions on how to mount your switch, please see the Operating Instructions under www.sophos.com/get-started-switch

Connect the power cable and turn on the switch
Connect the power supply (where available) and/or supplied power cable to the switch and turn it on (if unit has a power button). After a few seconds, the Power LED will start blinking and the switch will boot. This process should take just a few minutes. After the boot-up is complete the Power LED will turn to solid green.

Connect Grounding Cable (CS101-8x models only)
If ethernet cables are run between buildings or if the switch is used in a high lightning exposure area, connect a safety ground wire to the grounding screw to provide additional protection from electrical shock. If unsure of your electrical ground, consult an electrician.

Connect the Switch to your Network

Connect any port on the switch to the next-hop ethernet switch or Sophos Firewall. After powering on, the switch will boot and attempt to get an IP address from a DHCP server (either from the Sophos firewall or another DHCP server in your network).
If the switch is unable to get an IP address from a DHCP server and is not registered in Sophos Central within 15 minutes, it will use a default IP address 172.16.16.239. To manually configure your switch, adjust the network settings of your administration PC (PC/laptop) so that it is on the same network as the switch. For example:

•  IP Address: 172.16.16.230
•  Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Connect your Administration PC/laptop to port 1 of the switch.
Open a browser and enter the IP address of the switch: https://172.16.16.239 and complete the setup and configuration. If you want to attempt registration with DHCP again, correct the fault that prevented the switch from getting a DHCP assigned IP address and power cycle the switch either manually or via the switch management interfaces (CLI or HTTPS web interface).
Please Note: If the switch is still unable to retrieve an IP address from the DHCP server it will use the default IP address 172.16.16.239.

 Set Up the Switch

• Sign in to Sophos Central at central.sophos.com
  If you don’t yet have a Sophos Central Account, please create one.
• Register the switch in your Sophos Central account by entering the serial number.
  Note: After powering on the switch, there is a 15-minute window to register the switch in Sophos Central. If the network administrator does not register the switch within this time period, the switch will have to be either hard rebooted or rebooted using the local web interface.
• After the switch is registered in Sophos Central, it is upgraded to the latest firmware version.

Sign in to your Sophos Switch

Sophos provides users an option to sign in to the switch for advanced configuration. The advanced options can be configured in the on-box web interface of the switch or through its command line interface (CLI).

1.  Register the switch in Sophos Central as mentioned in the above section.
2. An IP Address will be assigned to the switch from either Sophos Central or the DHCP server
3. Open a web browser on your computer enter the IP address and press enter.
4. In order to access the CLI or the web interface of the switch after registering it in Sophos Central, use the default credentials with the username as “admin” and the unique password for this switch.*

 Managing the Switch via the Console Port

1. Connect the switch console port (not available on CS101-8/8FP models) to a computer using the console cable provided.
2.  Launch any terminal emulation program, e.g., PuTTy
3. Select the COM port, and use the following settings:
   • Baud Rate: 115200
   •  Data bits: 8
   •  Parity: None
   •  Stop bits: 1
   •  Flow Control: None
4.  Press Enter on your keyboard to connect to the CLI.
5. Sign in using the username “admin” and the unique password for this switch.*

•  The unique password is printed on a sticker (see picture to the right) affixed to the chassis of the switch and on an additional sticker in the packaging materials.

 Connecting Power over Ethernet (PoE) Devices

All ports on PoE-capable switches can provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to a connected PoE device which conforms with the 802.3af (max. 15.4W) or 802.3at (max.30W) standards. Each port can provide up to a maximum of 30 Watts.
Please note: If the total power consumption of all PoE-powered devices exceeds the power budget of the switch, the PoE Max LED will turn on. The port with the highest number and the lowest priority (according to the per-port priority settings configured), will no longer receive power and the PoE Mode LED for that port will be turned off. To avoid such situations, Sophos recommends calculating the number of connected devices based upon their max. power consumption (see table “interfaces” above).

 LED Status

• By pressing the “LED mode” button you can switch the meaning of the left LED on each RJ45 port (labeled with “mode”) between LAN Mode and PoE Mode.

Please note: Additional LED blinking sequences not listed above indicate specific maintenance processes such as firmware updates. For more information, please check additional Sophos documentation resources.
