Overview of Grandstream GWN7821P
The Grandstream GWN7821P is a Layer 3 multi-gigabit managed PoE switch from the GWN7820 series, designed for medium-to-large enterprises that need scalable, secure and high-performance networks. It provides 8 2.5G ports and 2 10G SFP+ uplinks, and every port delivers PoE/PoE+/PoE++ up to 60 W with a 240 W total budget, ideal for powering Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras and IP phones. Advanced VLANs, QoS, IGMP/MLD Snooping, static and dynamic routing and comprehensive security are included, with stacking of up to 4 devices. Manage it via web UI, CLI, GDMS Networking, GWN Manager or GWN routers in offices, hotels, schools and warehouses.
