Traceroute Command

The

traceroute command enables you to trace the route from the switch to a

host address.

This command outputs information for each (router) hop between the switch
and the destination address. Note that every time you execute

traceroute, it

uses the same default settings unless you specify otherwise for that instance
of the command.

Syntax: traceroute < ip-address | hostname >

traceroute6 < ip-address | hostname >

Lists the IP address or hostname of each hop in the route,
plus the time in microseconds for the

traceroute packet reply

to the switch for each hop.

To halt an ongoing traceroute search, press the

[

Ctrl

] [

C

]

keys

.

Note: For information about

traceroute6, see the “IPv6

Configuration Guide” for your switch.
