Traceroute

This section describes the Traceroute feature.

Use Traceroute to discover the routes that packets take when traveling on a hop-by-hop basis to
their destination through the network.

•

Maps network routes by sending packets with small Time-to-Live (TTL) values and watches
the ICMP time-out announcements

•

Command displays all L3 devices

•

Can be used to detect issues on the network

•

Tracks up to 20 hops

•

Default UPD port used 33343 unless modified in the traceroute command

Note: You can execute Traceroute with CLI commands only—there is no Web

interface for this feature.
