Grandstream GWN7803 Pro Managed Switch, 24 GbE + 2 x 10G SFP+

Overview

The Grandstream GWN7803 Pro is a managed network switch from the GWN7800 Pro series with 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and two 10 Gbps SFP+ (enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable) uplinks. It is rated Layer 2++: full Layer 2 control plus static routing and extra features for audio-visual networks. It suits offices, hotels, schools and AV installations that want to keep traffic apart with VLANs (virtual LANs), control video or audio over IP, and have a 10 Gbps path to the core.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it for desks, servers and AV equipment that have their own power. It has no PoE: the GWN7803PL Pro (250 W) and GWN7803PH Pro (400 W) are the 24-port PoE versions.
• Pro AV mode, ERPS ring protection and an IEEE 1588v2 clock make it suited to video and audio over IP as well as office traffic.
• Two 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks give a fast path to the core; the GWN7802P Pro is the PoE++ model in the series.
• Desk, wall or rack mounting with the rack kits included.

Key features

• 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and two 10 Gbps SFP+ uplink ports, 88 Gbps switching capacity and 65.472 Mpps forwarding rate.
• 4K VLANs, QinQ, MAC and protocol VLANs, VLAN translation, voice VLAN and ERPS ring protection, which keeps a ring of switches running if one link fails.
• Pro AV mode with IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) and MLD snooping, so video and audio over IP multicast streams go only where they are needed.
• IEEE 1588v2 transparent clock for precise time synchronisation across AV equipment.
• 802.1X, RADIUS and TACACS authentication, ARP inspection, IP source guard and DHCP snooping.
• Static routing with 32 IPv4 and 32 IPv6 routes.
• Built-in 100 to 240 V AC power supply; 440 x 200 x 44 mm and 2.5 kg.

What else you need

• Power: a mains socket. The power supply is built in.
• For the uplinks, SFP+ modules, which are not included: Grandstream F-MM850-300M-10G (multimode, up to 300 m) or F-SM1310-10KM-10G (single-mode, up to 10 km) match the 10 Gbps port speed.
• A PoE switch, injector or power adapter for any device that needs power over its cable.
• A GDMS Networking account for cloud management, or GWN Manager on your own server; otherwise the web interface, CLI or GWN App.

Installation

An IT, network or AV installer should fit it. It stands on a desk, mounts on a wall or goes in a rack with the rack kits in the box, within 0 to 45 °C. Connect the supplied ground cable, fit the power cord anti-trip clip, plug in the mains lead and the device cables, then set VLANs, QoS, Pro AV mode and any routing through the web interface, CLI or GDMS Networking.

Software and licences

• Managed through its local web interface, a CLI (command-line interface), SNMP v1/v2c/v3, GDMS (Grandstream Device Management System) Networking in the cloud, GWN Manager on your own server, a Grandstream GWN series router or the GWN App.
• No licence is listed.
