Sophos Firewall Manager (SFM), Sophos Central Firewall Manager(CFM) or Sophos Central centrally manages your Sophos Firewall (device). Central management allows you to configure keep-alive requests and to enable configuration and signature updates of the device through the firewall manager.
Sophos Bandwidth Management System
- Bandwidth Pools are essentially an action to be taken. This action tells the UTM how to prioritize, limit or guarantee bandwidth for a packet that matches a Traffic Selector. If the TOS or DSCP options are used, this carries over into how the UTM handles the packet. To specify a new Bandwidth Pool, follow these steps: Click New Bandwidth Pool.
- Sophos Central is the unified console for managing all your Sophos products. Sign into your account, take a tour, or start a trial from here.
You can configure the bandwidth used for updating the Sophos agent software on your endpoint computers.
In Settings, on the Bandwidth Usage page, you can limit the bandwidth used. Currently the default limit is 256 Kbps.
This helps to ensure that updating does not cause computers to run slowly.
My Sophos Central
You can specify a custom bandwidth or unlimited bandwidth.
Note This setting does not apply to the initial installation of Sophos agent software or to updates downloaded by Sophos. To save bandwidth in this case, see Manage Update Caches and Message Relays.
