What’s New in This Release

Version 4.9.0 of the SonicWall Access Points and Switches Management includes the below new features

Power over Ethernet (PoE) enable or disable toggle at interface level in Port-Policy mode

In Access Points and Switches Management 4.9.0, you can now enable or disable Power over Ethernet (PoE) at the individual interface level in Port-Policy mode, similar to the functionality already available in Classic mode. This allows you to reboot PoE powered devices on specific ports without affecting other ports assigned to the same port policy.

For more information refer to Switch Port Policies and Switch Policies.

Dashboard UX and Navigation Improvements

The Dashboard in Access Points and Switches Management 4.9.0 includes several usability and visual enhancements:

• A Show All Access Points link is now available in the Access Points tab for quick navigation to the full device listing.

• A Show All Switches link is now available in the Switch tab.

• Charts across all dashboard tabs including Access Points, Clients, SSIDs, Zones, Fingerprints, and Switches have been improved with better alignment of legends, time-series data, and data transfer charts.

• Legend colors and bar chart colors are now consistent across the SSIDs, Zones, and Fingerprints tabs.

• Bar chart labels now display the complete names of SSIDs and other items.

• Switch port PoE colors are now aligned with the corresponding bar chart colors.

For more information refer to Dashboard.

Firmware Upgrade Usability Improvements

In Access Points and Switches Management 4.9.0, the firmware upgrade workflow initiated from the device listing page has been enhanced. When selecting devices for a firmware upgrade, only the firmware versions available for the selected device models are now displayed, rather than listing all supported models. This simplifies the upgrade process by showing only relevant information.
