Tracing the IP path to a host
The traceroute command enables you to trace the IP path to a host. It displays a list of all the
intervening router hops the trace-route request traversed to reach the host. In addition, if there are
multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the Brocade Virtual ADX displays up to three
responses by default.
To perform a traceroute, enter a command such as the following.
Virtual ADX>traceroute 10.33.4.7 minttl 5 maxttl 5 timeout 5
Syntax: traceroute host-ip-addr [maxttl value] [minttl value] [numeric] [timeout value]
[source-ip ip addr]
The minttl parameter specifies the minimum TTL (hops) value. Possible values are 1 – 255. The
default is 1 second.
The maxttl parameter specifies the maximum TTL (hops) value. Possible values are 1 – 255. The
default is 30 seconds.
The timeout value can be from 1 – 120. The default is 2 seconds.
The numeric option changes the display to list the devices by their IP addresses instead of their
names.
The source-ip ip addr parameter specifies an IP address to be used as the origin for the traceroute.
To halt an initiated trace, enter the following command.
Virtual ADX>stop-traceroute
Syntax: stop-traceroute
Initiating a system reset
Use the reload command to initiate a system reset. You will be prompted to save all configuration
changes made since the last reset or start of the Brocade Virtual ADX to the startup configuration
file. Although the dynamic configuration feature allows many parameter changes to take effect
immediately without a system reset, other parameters do require a system reset. To place these
parameters into effect, you must save the configuration changes to the configuration file, then
reload the system. The management interfaces provide an option to immediately reset the system.
Alternatively, you can use the scheduled system reload feature to configure the system to reload at
a specific time (based on the system time counter) or after a specific amount of time has passed.
To initiate a system reset, enter the following command.
Virtual ADX#reload
Syntax: reload [after dd:hh:mm] | [at hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy] | [cancel]
The after dd:hh:mm parameter reloads after the specified amount of time has passed.
The at hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy parameter reloads at exactly the specified time.
The cancel option negates the scheduled reload.
When you enter the reload command without any options, it reloads the system immediately after
confirmation.
