Traceroute
The Traceroute menu item will allow you to watch the route taken through the Internet to the specified IP Address or URL.
Host/IP Address field: Type in the IP Address or URL you wish to trace. It is recommended to start with a locally acces‐
sible IP address to confirm communications to an interface’s local subnet. Then proceed to addresses on distant net‐
works. You local default gateway is a good test, and this IP can be found in your routing table. A commonly available
internet server available to test against is 4.2.2.2.
Source Interface field: Select the interface to be used from which to originate the Traceroute test. The recommended
setting for this field is “Unspecified”, as it will let the system choose the first interface found with a route to the desti‐
nation.
