Grandstream GWN7816P Layer 3 PoE Switch – 48×Gigabit PoE+ + 6×10G SFP+ Managed Switch
The Grandstream GWN7816P is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch with 48 PoE ports, 10G uplinks, and enterprise-grade security for scalable networks.
Description
The Grandstream GWN7816P Layer-3 Managed PoE+ Aggregation Switch is an enterprise-grade networking solution built to deliver high-performance connectivity, intelligent power distribution, and advanced network control. Designed for medium-to-large organizations, it enables businesses to deploy scalable and secure infrastructures with ease.
This powerful switch features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all supporting PoE output, including PoE+, and PoE++ (on select ports), allowing it to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly through the network cable. With a total PoE budget of up to 740W, it supports high-density device deployments efficiently.
For high-speed uplinks, the GWN7816P includes 6 × 10Gbps SFP+ ports, enabling fast fiber connections for aggregation layers, core switching, and data center environments. It delivers a switching capacity of up to 216Gbps, ensuring smooth performance even in bandwidth-intensive scenarios.
As a Layer 3 managed switch, it supports advanced routing and traffic management features, including:
- Static and dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP support)
- VLAN segmentation (up to 4K VLANs)
- QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritization
- IGMP/MLD snooping for multicast optimization
Security is robust, with enterprise-grade protections such as:
- ARP Inspection
- IP Source Guard
- DHCP snooping
- DoS attack protection
- Port security
The switch offers flexible management options, including:
- Web-based GUI
- CLI (command-line interface)
- Cloud management via GDMS / GWN.Cloud
- On-premise management via GWN Manager
It also supports stacking, enabling multiple switches to operate as a single logical unit for improved scalability and redundancy.
Additionally, the GWN7816P supports hot-swappable redundant power supplies, ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical environments.
With its combination of high port density, advanced PoE capabilities, 10G uplinks, and Layer 3 intelligence, the Grandstream GWN7816P is an ideal choice for enterprise networks, campuses, ISPs, and large-scale deployments.
