Send an IPv4 traceroute

You can configure the switch to send a traceroute request to a specified IPv4 address
or host name. You can use this to discover the paths that packets take to a remote
destination. When you send a traceroute, the switch displays the results below the
configurable data.

If a reply to the traceroute is received, the following message displays:

traceroute to x.y.z.w (x.y.z.w), maxTTL hops max, size byte packets

initTTL x.y.z.w (x.y.z.w) 0.000 ms * 0.000 ms

initTTL+1 x.y.z.w (x.y.z.w) 0.000 ms * 0.000 ms

initTTL+2 x.y.z.w (x.y.z.w) 0.000 ms * 0.000 ms
