The Grandstream GWN7801 is an enterprise-grade Layer 2+ managed network switch designed for small-to-medium businesses that need secure, high-performance and fully manageable networks. It features 8× Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 2× Gigabit SFP uplink ports, making it ideal as a core or distribution switch in professional environments.

With advanced VLAN support, QoS, IGMP Snooping, and a rich security toolkit, the GWN7801 delivers intelligent traffic segmentation, prioritisation and protection. PoE models in the GWN7800 family also offer smart, dynamic PoE/PoE+ power allocation for IP phones, cameras and access points. The series can be centrally managed via local web UI, GWN.Cloud, or GWN Manager, providing flexible deployment options for IT teams.

Key Features & Benefits

• 8× Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2× Gigabit SFP uplink ports.
• Layer 2+ managed switch with advanced VLAN and segmentation features.
• Supports deployment in both IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
• Smart dynamic PoE/PoE+ power allocation on PoE models within the GWN7800 series.
• Advanced QoS for prioritising critical voice, video and data traffic.
• Rich security: ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, DoS protection, port security and DHCP snooping.
• Managed via local Web UI, GWN.Cloud and GWN Manager for cloud or on-premise control.

Powerful Processing & L2+ Capabilities

• Unicast routing via ACL for traffic between network segments.
• Integrated DHCP server and relay for automatic IP address assignment.
• GVRP for dynamic VLAN distribution and propagation, reducing manual configuration.
• Comprehensive QoS: port priority, priority mapping, queue scheduling, traffic shaping and rate limiting.
• Flexible ACLs for packet filtering by IP/MAC/VLAN/port with time-based rules.
• IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping for efficient multicast – ideal for surveillance and video conferencing.
• Full support for IPv4, IPv6 and hybrid IPv4/IPv6 environments.

Multi-Layer Security Protection

• Static and dynamic MAC tables with filtering to mitigate network attacks.
• Packet filtering based on IP, MAC, VLAN and port bindings.
• ARP Inspection to protect against ARP spoofing, flooding and man-in-the-middle attacks.
• IP Source Guard to prevent IP/MAC/VLAN address spoofing.
• Built-in DoS protection (Land, Smurf, TCP SYN flood, Ping flood and more).
• 802.1X, RADIUS, AAA and TACACS+ for robust access control and authentication.
• Port security with MAC learning limits to prevent MAC flooding attacks.
• DHCP Snooping for trusted DHCP packet enforcement and lease integrity.

Network Optimisation & Resilience

• STP/RSTP/MSTP for fast convergence, redundancy and fault tolerance.
• Loopback detection to identify and eliminate network loops.
• VRRP support to minimise downtime due to gateway failures.
• Link aggregation to increase bandwidth and link reliability.
• Storm control for broadcast, multicast and unicast traffic to prevent saturation.

Smart PoE Capabilities (PoE Models in Series)

• Smart power control for dynamic per-port PoE/PoE+ allocation.
• 802.3af/at support for powering IP cameras, APs, VoIP phones and more.
• Configurable PoE schedules for power saving and security.
• PoE port prioritisation when available power is limited.
• Up to 30W per PoE port with configurable maximum limits.
• Dynamic power negotiation using LLDP-MED.

Easy Management & Maintenance

• Multiple management options: local Web GUI, CLI (Console/Telnet), SNMP v1/v2c/v3.
• Centralised management via GWN.Cloud and GWN Manager.
• CPU and memory usage monitoring for health visibility.
• Built-in diagnostics: Ping, Traceroute, Copper Test and more.
• RMON, Syslog, traffic statistics and sFlow (pending) for network analysis.
• LLDP and LLDP-MED for automatic discovery and provisioning of endpoint devices.
