48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Connectivity

The GWN7806P provides 48 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports, all capable of delivering network connectivity and PoE/PoE+ power. This makes the switch particularly useful in installations where a large number of endpoints need both Ethernet and electrical power through a single network cable.

Compatible endpoints can include Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, IP cameras, VoIP devices, intercom systems and other PoE-powered network equipment. Instead of installing a separate power adapter at every endpoint, compatible devices can receive power directly through the Ethernet connection.

For wireless deployments, the GWN7806P can serve as a centralized wired switching platform for wireless network devices and business-class access points.

400W PoE Budget for Business Deployments

The GWN7806P features a 400W maximum total PoE output budget and supports up to 30W per PoE port. It uses IEEE 802.3af/at standards, allowing it to power a wide range of standard-compliant PoE and PoE+ devices.

The available PoE budget can be allocated across connected devices according to their power requirements. This makes the switch suitable for deployments where several powered endpoints must operate simultaneously from a centralized network rack.

Typical applications include powering multiple PoE devices, IP phones, wireless access points and IP surveillance cameras.

6 × 10G SFP+ Uplink Ports

For high-speed uplink connectivity, the Grandstream GWN7806P includes 6 × 10Gbps SFP+ ports. These ports can be used for fiber-optic connectivity or supported DAC connections, providing significantly higher uplink bandwidth than conventional Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.

The SFP+ interfaces are useful for connecting the switch to aggregation switches, core network equipment, servers or other high-bandwidth infrastructure. This makes the GWN7806P suitable for larger networks where multiple Gigabit access ports need high-speed uplinks.

For compatible optical networking requirements, these ports can be integrated with suitable networking cables and fiber connectivity solutions.

216Gbps Switching Capacity

The switch provides a 216Gbps switching capacity and 108Gbps total non-blocking throughput. Its forwarding rate reaches 160.704Mpps, providing the switching performance required for high-density business networks.

These specifications allow multiple Gigabit Ethernet devices to communicate efficiently while high-speed SFP+ interfaces can be used for uplinks between network layers. The combination is particularly useful in enterprise networks with high volumes of simultaneous wired, wireless, VoIP and surveillance traffic.

Advanced VLAN and Network Segmentation

The GWN7806P supports up to 4,000 VLANs and provides 32 VLAN virtual interfaces. It supports port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, MAC-based VLAN, protocol-based VLAN and QinQ.

VLAN segmentation can be used to logically separate different types of network traffic. For example, an organization can create separate network segments for employees, guests, IP phones, surveillance devices and management traffic.

The switch also supports Voice VLAN, including automatic Voice VLAN functionality and OUI-based identification, helping simplify deployments that combine traditional data traffic with IP telephony.

QoS for Voice, Video and Business Applications

Integrated Quality of Service (QoS) features allow administrators to prioritize important network traffic. This is particularly useful for applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, business-critical applications and other latency-sensitive services.

The GWN7806P supports priority mapping, queue scheduling and traffic shaping mechanisms to provide greater control over bandwidth utilization. When a network carries multiple types of traffic simultaneously, QoS can help ensure that important services receive appropriate priority.

Network Security Features

The Grandstream GWN7806P includes a broad set of network security functions designed for managed business networks. These include 802.1X authentication, MAC authentication, RADIUS, TACACS+, port security, sticky MAC, port isolation and MAC filtering.

Additional protection mechanisms include:

• DHCP and DHCPv6 Snooping
• ARP Inspection
• IP and IPv6 Source Guard
• DoS attack prevention
• Storm Control
• BPDU Protection
• Root Protection
• Loopback Protection
• Port Isolation

These features provide administrators with multiple mechanisms for controlling endpoint access, reducing unwanted network traffic and improving the security of the switching environment.

Link Aggregation and Network Redundancy

The switch supports 32 link aggregation groups, allowing multiple physical network links to be combined into logical connections. Link aggregation can increase available bandwidth and provide redundancy between compatible network devices.

The GWN7806P also supports multiple spanning-tree technologies including STP, RSTP, MSTP, PVST+ and RPVST+. These features help administrators build networks with controlled Layer 2 paths and improved resilience against network loops.

IPv4 and IPv6 Network Support

The GWN7806P supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networking environments. This allows it to be deployed within traditional IPv4 infrastructures as well as networks that are transitioning toward or already using IPv6.

Its Layer 2+ architecture provides advanced switching and management functions without requiring the switch to be positioned as a full enterprise Layer 3 routing platform.

Centralized Network Management

Grandstream provides management options for the GWN7806P through its networking management ecosystem. The switch can be managed using GWN.Cloud, GWN Manager and compatible Grandstream networking platforms.

This provides administrators with centralized visibility and management capabilities for Grandstream networking equipment. The switch can therefore form part of a broader Grandstream network containing routers, switches and wireless access points.
