Trace route group

Trace route group

This group uses the following method to detect routes used to reach a destination address.

1. The originating Layer 3 Switch sends a probe packet (a UDP packet) to the destination address

with a time-to-Live (TTL) value of 1.

2. The first Layer 3 Switch that receives this packet decrements the TTL, then drops the packet

and returns a ICMP packet to the originator.

3. The originating Layer 3 Switch records the route in the

“snRtIpTraceRouteResultTable”

.

4. The originating Layer 3 Switch sends a probe packet (a UDP packet) to the destination address

with a TTL value of 2.

5. The second Layer 3 Switch that receives this packet decrements the TTL, then drops the

packet and returns an ICMP packet to the originator.

6. The originating Layer 3 Switch records the route in

“snRtIpTraceRouteResultTable”

.

This procedure is repeated until the destination is reached or the maximum TTL is reached.

snRtUdpHelperAddrTypr
brcdIp.1.2.2.9.3.1.1.3
Syntax: Integer

Read-write

Indicates if the address is unicast or subnet broadcast address.
Valid values:

unicast(1)

broadcast(2)

snRtUdpHelperAddr
brcdIp.1.2.2.9.3.1.1.4
Syntax: IpAddress

Read-write

Shows the IP address of the UDP helper. UDP packets will be
forwarded to this address. It can be a helper address or a subnet
broadcast address, but it cannot be 255.255.255.255 or 0.0.0.0.

snRtUdpHelperRowStatus
brcdIp.1.2.2.9.3.1.1.5
Syntax: Integer

Read-write

Controls the management of the table rows. The values that can be
written are:

delete(3) – Delete the row

create(4) – Create a new row

modify(5) – Modify an existing row

If the row exists, then a SET with a value of create(4) returns a "bad
value" error. Deleted rows are removed from the table immediately.
The following values can be returned on reads:

noSuch(0) – No such row

invalid(1) – Row is inoperative

valid(2) – Row exists and is valid
