The Grandstream GWN7711P is a compact, Layer-2 Lite managed Gigabit PoE switch designed for small-to-medium business (SMB) and remote office deployments. It offers both cloud and on-premise management, supports PoE/PoE+ (as well as passive PoE), and includes functionality useful for improving both manageability (e.g. diagnostics, cable testing) and network performance (VLANs, QoS, storm control, etc). It’s fanless and comes in a metal enclosure, suitable for desktop or wall-mount use.
Here are the main features of the GWN7711P:
8 × Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports.
PoE capability: 4 of those ports support PoE/PoE+ (802.3af/at), with dynamic allocation.
Support for 24V DC passive PoE-out mode via the UI (for ports 1-4).
Diagnostics & fault finding: Loop detection, cable test, and port mirroring.
VLAN support (including 802.1Q tagging, voice VLAN) for traffic segmentation IGMP snooping to optimize multicast traffic.
QoS (Quality of Service): priority mapping, scheduling, bandwidth control. Storm control (broadcast, multicast, unicast) to lessen impact of traffic storms.
Management via embedded web UI, and via Grandstream’s cloud/on-premise platforms: GDMS Networking / GWN Manager.
LED indicators per port (link/activity, PoE state) and for the device (power). Fanless design (“whisper quiet”) and metal chassis.
Mounting flexibility: supports desktop or wall mount installation.
