GWN7721(P) Series

Product Description

Next-Generation High-Speed Networking for Growing Businesses

The Grandstream GWN7721 and GWN7721P are 10-port Layer 2 Lite Managed Switches designed to deliver ultra-fast, high-performance networking for small-to-medium businesses. Equipped with 8x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, these switches provide the bandwidth and speed required for today's most demanding applications, including 4K/8K video streaming, large file transfers, high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments, and real-time collaboration.

Whether you need to power and connect IP phones, security cameras, Wi-Fi access points, or network storage, the GWN7721(P) Series offers the performance, flexibility, and intelligent management features to build a future-proof business network that scales with your needs.

Blazing-Fast Connectivity with 2.5G and 10G Ports

The GWN7721(P) Series is engineered for high-speed networking, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring your network can handle increasing bandwidth demands:

• 8x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Deliver 2.5x the speed of standard Gigabit Ethernet, providing ample bandwidth for bandwidth-intensive applications and next-generation Wi-Fi 6/6E access points.

• 2x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Ports: Enable ultra-fast fiber connectivity for network backbone connections, servers, and high-capacity network storage (NAS) devices, ensuring your network core operates at maximum efficiency.

• Total Non-Blocking Throughput: The switch delivers high-speed, non-blocking performance, ensuring all ports can operate at full capacity simultaneously without bottlenecks.

• High Switching Capability: With a robust switching capacity, the GWN7721(P) Series handles heavy network traffic with ease, making it ideal for growing businesses with increasing connectivity demands.

Powerful PoE+ Capabilities with GWN7721P

The PoE-capable GWN7721P model is designed to simplify network deployments by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable:

• PoE on All 8 Ports: Ports 1-8 support Power over Ethernet, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for connected devices.

• Smart Power Control: Supports dynamic PoE/PoE+ power allocation per port, intelligently distributing power based on the requirements of connected devices.

• Up to 30W Per Port: Each Ethernet port provides up to 30W of 802.3af/at PoE/PoE+ output, suitable for powering IP phones, IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, video intercom systems, and more.

• PoE Watchdog Function: Continuously monitors the network operation status of connected powered devices. If a device fails to respond within the set time, the PoE Watchdog proactively cuts off its power supply and reboots the device to restore functionality, reducing manual intervention and on-site maintenance.

• Continuous PoE During Restarts: The switch maintains PoE power supply during soft restarts, ensuring critical devices like surveillance cameras do not lose power and data feeds remain uninterrupted.

• Real-Time PoE Monitoring: Dynamic display and control of PoE power allows for timely detection of anomalies and efficient power management.

Intelligent Management and Enterprise-Grade Features

The GWN7721(P) Series is packed with advanced features that provide network administrators with powerful tools for optimization, security, and troubleshooting:

• Flexible Management Options: Free and flexible management options include the local web user interface, GWN Manager (on-premise software controller), and GDMS Networking (Grandstream's free cloud management platform), providing centralized and remote network administration.

• Comprehensive VLAN Support: Supports complex VLAN traffic segmentation and port-based VLAN, allowing users to flexibly divide VLANs according to their specific requirements for sophisticated traffic segmentation and enhanced security.

• Built-in QoS: DSCP and 802.1p QoS priority management modes allow for prioritization of network traffic, ensuring that latency-sensitive applications like voice and video receive the bandwidth they need for optimal performance.

• IGMP Snooping: Improves multicast forwarding efficiency by intelligently managing multicast traffic, preventing unnecessary network congestion and optimizing overall performance.

• STP/RSTP: Spanning Tree Protocol and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol guarantee fast convergence, ensure network stability, and provide link load balancing and redundancy for critical network infrastructure.

• SNMPv2: Supports remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, and configuration management, simplifying network administration and enabling proactive issue resolution.

• DHCP Snooping: Ensures DHCP packets are only allowed from trusted ports to keep the DHCP environment safe, protecting your network from rogue DHCP servers and potential attacks.

Advanced Troubleshooting and Network Reliability

The GWN7721(P) Series includes a suite of diagnostic and reliability features that help network administrators quickly identify and resolve issues:

• Loop Detection: Automatically detects and prevents network loops that can cause broadcast storms and network failures.

• Cable Test: Allows administrators to diagnose cable integrity and identify faulty connections, speeding up troubleshooting.

• Port Mirroring: Enables network traffic monitoring by copying traffic from one port to another for analysis and diagnostics.

• Broadcast/Multicast/Unicast Storm Control: Monitors traffic levels and prevents network congestion caused by excessive broadcast, multicast, or unicast traffic, ensuring network stability.

• Jumbo Frame Support: Enhances network efficiency for large data transfers by supporting larger frame sizes.

Deployment Example: High-Speed Converged Network
