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 UDP port uses 33343 unless modified in the traceroute command

NOTE:

You can execute Traceroute with CLI commands only — there is no Web
interface for this feature.

CLI Example

The following shows an example of using the traceroute command to determine how many
hops there are to the destination. The command output shows each IP address the packet
passes through and how long it takes to get there. In this example, the packet takes 16 hops to
reach its destination.
