DrayOS 5 is the operating system used by DrayTek's networking devices, including the Vigor 2136AX, C510, C410, and Vigor 2767 series routers. It comes with advanced features, offering robust command-line tools that help network administrators manage and troubleshoot their networks efficiently. In this article, we’ll cover five essential commands for checking networking connectivity, rebooting routers, collecting logs, checking system info, and managing ports and services which are key actions for maintaining network performance and resolving issues quickly.

1. Ping

You can send a ping from the router to test connectivity to any IP address or hostname. This is useful for verifying WAN status, checking DNS resolution, or confirming reachability to remote networks.

Command:

exec ping <IP or hostname>

Example:

2. REBOOT

You can reboot the router directly from the command line using the “exec reboot_system” command. This is useful when performing remote maintenance or restoring the router to its default configuration.

Command:

exec reboot_system <action>

Action Options:

• 0 – Reboot the router using the current settings

• 1 – Reboot the router and restore factory default settings

4. Display System Information

You can view key details about the router including device model, firmware, build time, and more using the “exec sysinfo” command.

5. View and collect debug log

DrayOS allows you to view, download, or clear crash-related debug logs using the “exec coredump” commands

Commands:

exec coredump log <show/download/clear>

exec coredump file <show/download/clear>

Purpose:

• show – Display the available crash logs or core dump files

• download – Download logs for analysis or for sending to support

• clear – Remove stored logs to free space after review
