FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The GWN7801P PRO has a total PoE budget of 120W, which is dynamically allocated across its 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The exact number of powered devices depends on the individual power requirements of each connected PoE or PoE+ device, such as IP phones, wireless access points, or cameras. The switch's smart power control manages allocation per port to maximize efficient use of the available budget.
What are the uplink capabilities of this switch?
This switch includes SFP ports that support uplink speeds of 2.5 Gigabit. These ports can be used with compatible SFP modules for fiber or copper connections, providing flexible options for linking to other switches, routers, or network backbones, thereby increasing overall network bandwidth and reach.
Is this a managed switch, and what management options are available?
Yes, the GWN7801P PRO is a Layer 2+ managed switch. It can be managed directly via its embedded controller. Additionally, it is compatible with Grandstream's GDMS Networking cloud management platform and the GWN Manager on-premise Wi-Fi management system, allowing for integrated control alongside other Grandstream network devices like routers and access points.
What security features does this switch offer for network protection?
The switch provides a robust set of security features designed to protect network integrity. These include quaternary binding of IP, MAC, VLAN, and port; ARP Inspection to prevent ARP spoofing; IP Source Guard to filter traffic based on IP addresses; DoS protection to mitigate denial-of-service attacks; port security to control device access; and DHCP snooping to block rogue DHCP servers.
Does this switch support modern IP addressing with IPv6?
Yes, the GWN7801P PRO supports deployment in both IPv6 and IPv4 networks. This dual-stack capability ensures compatibility with current IPv4 infrastructures while providing readiness for future IPv6 adoption, making it a suitable choice for forward-looking network deployments.
How does the Quality of Service (QoS) function on this switch benefit my network?
The built-in QoS allows for the prioritization of network traffic. This means critical applications like voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing, or specific data streams can be given higher priority over less time-sensitive traffic. This management helps maintain consistent performance, reduce latency, and prevent jitter for important business communications and applications.
