Grandstream GWN7801P | 8‑Port Gigabit PoE+ L2+ Managed Switch with SFP
Grandstream GWN7801P: Managed PoE+ Switch for Smart Business Networks
The Grandstream GWN7801P is a powerful Layer 2+ managed PoE+ switch designed for small‑to‑medium enterprises that need a secure, high‑performance, and centrally managed network – with the added convenience of Power over Ethernet to eliminate wall adapters.
Power Your Edge Devices
With 8 PoE+ ports (802.3af/at) delivering a total budget of 120W and up to 30W per port, you can directly power IP phones, security cameras, wireless access points, and other IoT devices. This simplifies installation, reduces cabling, and ensures critical equipment stays operational during power fluctuations.
High‑Performance Switching & Uplinks
The switch provides 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports for end‑device connectivity and 2 Gigabit SFP ports for fibre or copper uplinks to core switches or routers. Its 20 Gbps switching fabric and 14.88 Mpps forwarding rate guarantee non‑blocking, wire‑speed performance.
Enterprise L2+ Feature Set
-
VLANs (up to 4K): Port‑based, 802.1Q, MAC‑based, protocol‑based, and Voice VLAN with auto‑detection.
-
Link Aggregation (8 groups) – combines multiple ports for higher bandwidth and redundancy.
-
Spanning Tree (STP/RSTP/MSTP/PVST+/RPVST+) – 64 instances for loop‑free topology.
-
QoS – 8 priority queues per port with Strict Priority, WRR, or SP+WRR scheduling.
-
Multicast – IGMP/MLD Snooping, fast leave, route port auto‑learning.
-
Jumbo Frame support (9216 bytes) for large file transfers.
Comprehensive Security
Protect your network from internal and external threats:
-
802.1X port‑based authentication with RADIUS/TACACS+ AAA.
-
DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard – prevents spoofing attacks.
-
**DoS attack prevention, storm control, port isolation, sticky MAC filtering.
-
Secure management via HTTPS, SSH, SNMPv3, and user hierarchical privilege management.
Free & Flexible Management
-
Embedded web interface – intuitive local management.
-
GDMS Networking – free cloud platform for zero‑touch provisioning, real‑time monitoring, and bulk updates across multiple switches (and routers/APs).
-
GWN Manager – on‑premise software controller for enterprise deployments.
Silent, Compact Design
The fanless metal chassis operates silently, making it suitable for open offices, classrooms, and hotel front desks. It can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack (rack‑mount kit sold separately) and includes a Kensington lock slot for physical security.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the total PoE power budget, and can it power Grandstream devices like the GWN7672 access point? +
The GWN7801P provides a total 120W PoE budget, with each port capable of delivering up to 30W (802.3at PoE+). A Grandstream GWN7672 Wi‑Fi 7 access point typically consumes ~25W, so you can power up to 4 such APs simultaneously (or more lower‑power devices like VoIP phones).
Q2: How many devices can I connect, and what about SFP ports? +
You can connect up to 8 wired devices (computers, cameras, APs) using the Gigabit RJ45 ports, plus an additional 2 devices via the SFP ports (fibre or copper SFP modules, sold separately). The SFP ports are ideal for long‑distance uplinks to another switch or router.
Q3: Does the GWN7801P work with Pakistan’s 220V power supply? +
Yes. The switch uses a universal AC power adapter (100‑240VAC, 50‑60Hz) that works seamlessly on Pakistan‘s standard 220V/50Hz grid. The adapter outputs 48‑53.5V DC to power both the switch and PoE loads.
Q4: Can I manage this switch remotely without IT staff on site? +
Absolutely. The switch is compatible with GDMS Networking, Grandstream’s free cloud management platform. You can provision, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch from anywhere with an internet connection – ideal for businesses with multiple locations or remote IT support.
