DSG2540XS DrayTek VigorSwitch G2540x Layer 2+ Managed 10GbE switch

We are just not quite the same as many of the other online stores.  I know it is easy to say that, but we just aren't.

The Tech Geeks, under their parent company Twelve Times (Worldwide) Pty Ltd trade in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

This allows us to purchase stock from suppliers from locations where they have it available.    We are then able to import those products directly, along with providing localised Warranty and Replacement as required.

We only list items that we know have been, or are about to be released to us and since we purchase only in small batches these are often flown in on short time frames.

We list on each product our expected shipments and ones that we have already sent out to customers.   Please use these dates as a guideline as we always suggest 14-21 days just to allow for air freight or customs hold ups.

Want to know when new product stock is released? why not sign up here to our alerts.

Further Details

Advanced Layer 2+ Features
The switch includes a DHCP Server supporting up to eight VLANs and VLAN Routing supporting up to 512 routes. These features reduce router workload and keep LAN services operating even when the gateway is offline.

Bind IP to MAC
As a DHCP server, the switch can reserve IP addresses for important devices, ensuring consistent access for frequently used endpoints.

ONVIF‑Friendly
The switch detects ONVIF devices across VLANs, displays camera topology, and enables remote maintenance such as rebooting, resetting, or adjusting network settings. It can also take periodic snapshots and send alerts when cameras stop responding.

IP Conflict Detection & Prevention
The switch monitors for IP conflicts and alerts administrators when issues arise. It can also block problematic hosts to maintain a stable network environment.

Device Check
The switch continuously pings LAN devices and sends alerts if they stop responding, helping administrators quickly identify issues.

LAN Management
DrayTek’s LAN management platform provides automatic device discovery, remote provisioning, centralised monitoring, and system maintenance such as configuration backup and remote reboot, all managed through a Vigor router.

Software Management
VigorACS 3
Supports provisioning, monitoring, hierarchical views, alarms, remote maintenance, and scheduled reporting.
VigorConnect
Provides local discovery, auto‑provisioning, monitoring, hierarchical views, alarms, and scheduled maintenance for APs and switches.
