TP-Link Festa FS308GP 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with 4-Port PoE+

TP-Link 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with 4-Port PoE+ (Festa FS308GP) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The Festa FS308GP is a fanless eight-port desktop switch in which the first four ports carry PoE+ on a 62 W supply. It is the smallest powered switch in TP-Link's cloud-managed Festa range, sized for a site with a couple of cameras and an access point rather than a floor of them, and managed from the same console as the rest of the estate.

Four PoE+ Ports, Four Plain Gigabit Ports

Ports 1 to 4 support 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE; ports 5 to 8 are plain Gigabit. The PoE supply is 62 W in total. That fits a small camera set plus an access point, or one PoE+ access point with room for a doorbell controller and a phone. The split matters when you plan the patching — a powered device on port 5 will not come up, which is the most common installation mistake on switches of this shape.

The Only Festa Switch That Publishes Its Power Draw

Uniquely in this range, TP-Link publishes consumption figures for the FS308GP: a maximum of 77.3 W with a 62 W powered device connected, and 2.8 W on standby. Both are stated at 110 V / 60 Hz. TP-Link does not publish a 230 V figure, so treat these as indicative for Singapore mains rather than exact — the standby figure in particular is useful when you are sizing a UPS for a small comms cupboard.

16 Gbps Switching in a Fanless Desktop Body

Switching capacity is 16 Gbps with an 11.90 Mpps forwarding rate, non-blocking across all eight ports, with an 8 K MAC address table, 4.1 Mbit packet buffer and 9 KB jumbo frames. The chassis is fanless and measures 209 x 126 x 26 mm, mounting on a desk or a wall. Operating range is 0–40 °C — check that against a sealed cupboard before committing.

L2+ Features That Belong on a Much Bigger Switch

The FS308GP runs the same L2+ software as the rack-mount Festa switches: 16 IPv4/IPv6 IP interfaces, 32 static routes, DHCP server, DHCP relay and L2 relay, spanning tree, loopback detection, 802.1ab LLDP/LLDP-MED, IGMP snooping, rate limiting, storm control, port isolation, link aggregation, VLANs, and combined and IPv6 access control lists. For a small site that means proper network segmentation — cameras on their own VLAN, guest traffic isolated — without stepping up to a rack switch.

Managed From the Same Console as Every Other Site

Adopted into the Festa Cloud-Based Controller, the switch provisions itself on power-up and is administered from the Festa App or Festa Web Portal alongside the rest of the fleet. Zero-touch provisioning, auto topology, multi-site management, batch firmware upgrading, batch configuration, integrated troubleshooting and alerting all apply, and TP-Link currently provides the cloud access free of charge.

Ideal For

Singapore shops, cafes, small clinics, home offices and branch sites with a handful of PoE devices, and installers who want the smallest managed switch that still segments traffic properly and reports into a central console.
