The NETGEAR GS316EPP is a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials switch designed for business networks that need PoE+ power together with practical Layer 2 management. It combines 15 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ copper ports with one 1G SFP port and provides a total PoE power budget of 231 W. Web-based management provides VLAN, QoS, link aggregation, IGMP snooping, rate limiting, port mirroring, loop prevention and advanced per-port PoE controls. Its fanless metal design supports desktop or wall installation, while uninterrupted PoE can keep connected powered devices supplied during firmware updates or software reboots. Key Features 15 Gigabit PoE+ Ports: Fifteen 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ with up to 30 W per port. 231 W PoE Budget: 1G SFP Connectivity: One 1000BASE-X SFP port supports compatible NETGEAR 1G fiber or copper SFP transceivers. Easy Smart Management: Browser-based interface with VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, link aggregation, rate limiting and monitoring features. Advanced PoE Controls: Per-port power settings, priority, power limits, PoE scheduling and uninterrupted PoE. Fanless Compa Design: Silent metal enclosure suitable for desktop or wall-mounted installation.

Ports 1–15 support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE, with up to 30 W available per port and a total switch PoE budget of 231 W. The SFP port requires a compatible 1G SFP transceiver module, which is sold separately. NETGEAR lists AGM731F 1000BASE-SX, AGM732F 1000BASE-LX and AGMBASE-T as supported SFP transceiver options. Use Category 5e or higher-rated Ethernet cabling for Gigabit network connections. The switch is designed for indoor use only, and the PoE source is intended for intra-building connections. The GS316EPP is different from the GS316EP: GS316EPP has a 231 W PoE budget, while GS316EP has a 180 W budget.

A: It has 16 network ports in total: 15 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports and one 1G SFP port. Q: How many ports support PoE+? A: All 15 RJ45 Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE. Q: What is the total PoE budget of the GS316EPP? A: The GS316EPP provides a total PoE power budget of 231 W, with up to 30 W available on an individual PoE+ port. Q: What is the difference between GS316EP and GS316EPP? A: Both provide 15 PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports and one SFP port, but the GS316EPP has a 231 W total PoE budget while the GS316EP has a 180 W budget. Q: Does the GS316EPP support VLANs? A: Yes. It supports port-based VLANs and IEEE 802.1Q VLANs through its browser-based management interface. Q: Does it support link aggregation? A: Yes. The current NETGEAR user manual supports both static and LACP link aggregation. Q: Is an SFP transceiver included? A: No. A compatible 1G SFP transceiver is required for the SFP port and is sold separately. Q: Is the GS316EPP fanless? A: Yes. NETGEAR specifies a fanless design with 0 dBA acoustic noise at 25°C.
