The GWN7711 and GWN7711P series are Layer 2 Lite managed network switches designed to empower small-to-medium businesses in creating scalable, secure, and intelligent networks. These cloud-manageable switches provide seamless traffic segmentation, enhanced security, and prioritization features to ensure a reliable network infrastructure. With their versatility, these switches are suitable for various industries, including hospitality, retail, education, and small office environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- VLAN Support: One of the standout features of the GWN7711 series is its ability to accommodate up to 4,000 VLANs. By supporting both port-based and 802.1Q VLANs, businesses can effectively segment their network traffic, allowing for better management and performance. This capability is particularly useful in environments with multiple departments or functions, as it isolates traffic and reduces congestion.
- Quality of Service (QoS): Advanced QoS capabilities ensure that critical network traffic is prioritized. This is essential for applications that demand low latency, such as VoIP, video conferencing, and streaming services. By prioritizing bandwidth for these applications, the GWN7711 series guarantees seamless communication and efficient data transfer, which is vital for maintaining productivity.
- Comprehensive Security: In today’s digital landscape, security is paramount. The GWN7711(P) series incorporates robust security measures, including MAC filtering, storm control, and port isolation. These features work together to protect your network from potential attacks and unauthorized access, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure and your network operates smoothly.
- IGMP Snooping: The Layer 2 Lite Managed Switches enhances multicast traffic management through IGMP Snooping. This feature optimizes the delivery of multicast packets, which is particularly advantageous in environments that utilize video streaming or IP cameras. By efficiently managing multicast traffic, the switches improve overall network performance and reduce unnecessary bandwidth consumption.
- PoE Capabilities (GWN7711P): The GWN7711P model features four dynamic PoE/PoE+ ports, each capable of providing up to 30W, with a total PoE budget of 60W. It supports both the 802.3af/at standard and a 24V DC passive PoE-out mode. This functionality allows businesses to power devices such as IP phones, security cameras, and Wi-Fi access points directly through the network cable, reducing the need for additional power supplies and simplifying installation.
Easy Management and Deployment
The GWN7711 series switches facilitate easy management through a user-friendly web interface and cloud management via the Grandstream Device Management System (GDMS). This centralized management approach is ideal for businesses looking for an efficient way to monitor and control their networks. The switches are designed for flexible installation, allowing for both desktop and wall-mount configurations, ensuring seamless integration into any environment.
Performance Highlights
- 8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Each switch in the GWN7711 series provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, delivering high-speed connections that ensure efficient data transfer among devices. This high port density is perfect for growing businesses that need to connect multiple devices without compromising performance.
- Non-blocking Throughput: The GWN7711 series features an impressive 8 Gbps non-blocking throughput and a total switching capacity of 16 Gbps. This ensures smooth and uninterrupted data flow, supporting high-demand applications without lag or bottlenecks. Businesses can rely on these switches for demanding tasks that require consistent performance.
- Dynamic PoE Power Control (GWN7711P): The smart power management system dynamically allocates power to each PoE port, optimizing energy usage while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. This feature not only conserves energy but also reduces operational costs, making the GWN7711P a more environmentally friendly option.
