Grandstream GWN7813P Layer 3 Switch with 24 PoE Ports and 4 SFP+

The Grandstream GWN7813P is a Layer 3 managed switch with 24 Gigabit PoE ports (8 of them up to 60W), four 10G SFP+ slots and a 370W PoE budget. It suits mid-size offices, branches and hotels that want one main switch to power devices and route between VLANs.

The Grandstream GWN7813P is a Layer 3 managed switch with 24 Gigabit PoE ports, four 10G SFP+ uplinks and a 370W PoE budget. It is sized for the network room of a mid-size office, a branch or a single hotel floor: one box powers the access points, cameras and IP phones, and routes traffic between internal networks so the router is not doing all the work.

Grandstream GWN7813P specs at a glance

Figures below come from Grandstream's official GWN781x series datasheet.

• 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports, all PoE, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt.
• Ports 1 to 8 deliver up to 60W each (PoE++); ports 9 to 24 deliver up to 30W.
• 4 × 10G SFP+ slots for fiber links to the core or server room.
• 128Gbps switching capacity and 95.232Mpps forwarding rate.
• 16K MAC table, 4K VLANs and a 12MB packet buffer.

Eight PoE++ ports for power-hungry devices

A desk phone or fixed camera rarely needs more than 30W. Some newer access points and outdoor PTZ cameras do, and that is what the first eight 60W ports are for. Power is allocated per port on demand, and each port can be given a priority, a power limit and an on/off schedule. Switch off the training room access point after hours and bring it back in the morning without touching a cable.

Layer 3 routing and central management

Put cameras, phones and guest Wi-Fi on separate VLANs and let the switch route between them. The GWN7813P holds 32 static routes each for IPv4 and IPv6, runs RIP, OSPF and BGP for dynamic routing, and acts as a DHCP server for each subnet. Manage it from the web UI or CLI, or from GDMS Networking in the cloud or GWN Manager on your own server, both offered free by Grandstream.

Stacking, backup power and security

Up to 4 switches can be stacked and managed as one unit. A rear input accepts the optional RPS-300W-B external supply (54V, 300W), so the network stays up if the internal supply fails. Security covers 802.1X, ARP inspection, IP source guard, DoS prevention and loop protection.

Where the GWN7813P fits in Saudi Arabia

• Offices and branches in Riyadh or Jeddah: IP phones and access points on one switch, each on its own VLAN.
• Hotels and residential buildings: one switch per floor, linked to the main switch over SFP+ fiber.
• Warehouses: PTZ cameras on the 60W ports, fixed cameras on the rest.
• Schools: admin network and computer labs kept apart on the same hardware.

GWN7813P, GWN7816P or GWN7822P?

The GWN7816P doubles up to 48 Gigabit ports and 6 SFP+ slots with a 740W budget and a 920W internal supply that takes a second hot-swap unit. The GWN7822P keeps 24 PoE ports and 4 SFP+, but 8 of its ports run at 2.5G and its budget is 360W. Pick the GWN7813P when 24 Gigabit ports cover the site and you do not need 2.5G copper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all GWN7813P ports deliver 60W?

No. Ports 1 to 8 deliver up to 60W (PoE++), ports 9 to 24 up to 30W, within a 370W total budget.

Do I need a router for inter-VLAN routing?

No. As a Layer 3 switch it routes between VLANs itself, with static routing, RIP, OSPF, BGP and a DHCP server. The router is only needed for internet access.

Does it support backup power?

Yes. It accepts the optional RPS-300W-B external supply (54V, 300W), sold separately.
