PoE switch for IP endpoints

The Grandstream GWN7801P is a Layer 2+ managed switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, two Gigabit SFP ports and eight PoE ports. It delivers power and data to IP phones, cameras and wireless access points over a single cable. Smart power control allocates PoE and PoE+ budgets dynamically per port. The switch supports deployment in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Security features and binding

Quaternary binding of IP, MAC, VLAN and port strengthens access control across the network. ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, DoS protection, port security and DHCP snooping defend against common Layer 2 attacks. These functions suit administrators who need managed security without a full Layer 3 stack. Buyers who require routing between VLANs or advanced Layer 3 protocols should consider a different platform.

Eight PoE ports

The eight powered ports determine how many PoE endpoints can be connected directly without extra injectors or mid-spans. Count your powered devices before purchasing. If the deployment needs more than eight PoE connections, this model will not cover the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I rack-mount the GWN7801P and which step is often missed?

Mount the 19.69-inch wide chassis into a standard 19-inch rack using the included brackets, then connect the AC power cord before linking any PoE devices; the step most often missed is enabling the smart power control per port so the switch negotiates PoE or PoE+ correctly for each attached endpoint.

What ongoing maintenance does the GWN7801P require?

Periodically check the web or CLI interface for firmware updates and review the dynamic PoE power allocation table to confirm each of the eight PoE ports stays within its budget; clean dust from the ventilation openings to maintain airflow through the 11.02-inch deep chassis.

What is the first limit reached when all eight PoE ports run at full load continuously?

The total PoE power budget is the first constraint; once the combined draw of connected phones, cameras or access points reaches the switch's maximum allocation, the smart power control will deny additional power requests on any port.
