Overview of Grandstream GWN7831
The Grandstream GWN7831 is a Layer 3 aggregation managed switch from the GWN7830 series that lets enterprises build scalable, secure and high-performance networks with maximum capacity. It provides 4 Gigabit Ethernet combo ports, 24 Gigabit SFP ports and 4 10G SFP+ ports, with support for an optional external redundant power supply, making it suitable for aggregating fiber links from access switches across buildings and floors. Advanced VLANs, QoS, IGMP/MLD Snooping, static and dynamic routing and comprehensive security give administrators full network control. Manage it via web UI, CLI, GDMS Networking, GWN Manager or GWN routers in campuses, hotels, hospitals and large offices.
