Grandstream GWN7721 Layer 2 Lite Managed Multi-Gig Switch | 8 x 2.5G Ports | 2 x 10G SFP+

Grandstream GWN7721 Layer 2 Lite Managed Multi-Gig Switch

The Grandstream GWN7721 is a high-performance Layer 2 Lite Managed Multi-Gig Ethernet Switch designed to meet the growing bandwidth demands of modern business networks. Featuring 8 x 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports and 2 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports, this switch provides exceptional speed, reliability, and flexibility for small and medium-sized businesses, enterprise offices, educational institutions, hospitality environments, retail stores, healthcare facilities, and surveillance deployments.

As organizations continue to adopt Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, cloud computing, IP surveillance, VoIP communications, and high-speed network storage, traditional Gigabit switches often become a bottleneck. The Grandstream GWN7721 eliminates these limitations by delivering Multi-Gig connectivity that maximizes the performance of modern networking devices while maintaining a cost-effective infrastructure.

Designed with advanced Layer 2 Lite management capabilities, the switch supports VLAN, Quality of Service (QoS), IGMP Snooping, STP/RSTP, DHCP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Loop Detection, SNMP v2 monitoring, and Cable Diagnostics. Network administrators can easily configure, monitor, and manage the switch through its intuitive local Web interface, Grandstream GWN Manager, or GDMS Networking cloud platform, making network administration simple and efficient.

Powerful Multi-Gig Performance

The Grandstream GWN7721 is equipped with eight high-speed 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports that provide significantly higher bandwidth than standard Gigabit switches. This additional bandwidth is ideal for organizations deploying bandwidth-intensive applications, high-speed wireless access points, large file transfers, virtualization, cloud services, and multimedia streaming.

The two dedicated 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports allow seamless connectivity to aggregation switches, servers, NAS storage, or backbone networks. These high-speed uplinks reduce network congestion and provide the bandwidth required for growing enterprise environments.

• 8 × 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports
• 2 × 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports
• 80 Gbps switching capacity
• 59.52 Mpps forwarding performance
• High-speed switching for demanding business applications

Advanced Layer 2 Lite Management

The Grandstream GWN7721 offers essential Layer 2 Lite management features that improve network efficiency, security, and traffic optimization without introducing the complexity of full Layer 3 routing. Businesses can create organized network segments, prioritize critical traffic, and improve overall reliability through an intuitive management interface.

Support for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows administrators to separate departments, guest users, IP phones, surveillance devices, and wireless infrastructure into secure network segments. Quality of Service (QoS) ensures that voice calls, video conferencing, and business-critical applications receive priority over less important traffic.

Additional management features such as IGMP Snooping optimize multicast traffic for IPTV and video applications, while STP and RSTP help eliminate switching loops that could otherwise disrupt network availability.

Centralized Network Management

Managing enterprise networking equipment becomes much easier with Grandstream’s integrated management platforms. The GWN7721 can be configured locally using the built-in Web GUI or managed centrally through Grandstream GWN Manager and GDMS Networking Cloud. This enables IT teams to deploy, monitor, configure, and troubleshoot multiple switches from a single interface.

Whether managing a single office or multiple branch locations, centralized administration reduces maintenance time while improving visibility across the entire network infrastructure.

Reliable Security Features

Network security plays a critical role in business operations. The Grandstream GWN7721 incorporates several Layer 2 security mechanisms to protect connected devices and maintain stable network performance.

• DHCP Snooping prevents unauthorized DHCP servers.
• Loop Detection automatically identifies network loops.
• Port Mirroring assists with network diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• SNMP v2 enables professional monitoring and network management integration.
• Cable Diagnostics quickly identify cable faults during installation and maintenance.

Silent Fanless Operation

The Grandstream GWN7721 features a premium fanless metal enclosure that delivers completely silent operation. Unlike traditional switches that rely on cooling fans, the GWN7721 dissipates heat efficiently while eliminating fan noise and reducing maintenance requirements.

This makes it particularly suitable for offices, classrooms, meeting rooms, hospitals, hotels, libraries, reception areas, and other environments where quiet operation is important. The durable metal housing also enhances heat dissipation and provides long-term reliability for continuous business use.
