Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch CLI Reference Guide
traceroute 593
traceroute
Traces the route that packets traverse from the Cuda 12000 to a destination. All arguments
except the destination IP address are optional.
Consider using this command in conjunction with the ping command. For example, you can use
the ping command to determine if a host is reachable. You then can use the traceroute
command to determine the route to the host.
Mode
Any.
Syntax
traceroute [-w <timeout>] [-i <number>] [-m <number>]
[-p <number>][-q <number>] [-t <number>] [-s <src-ip-address>]
[-x <number>] [-F] <dest-ip-address> [<data-size>]
Arguments
-w <timeout> Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a response to a probe packet.
Values range from 1 to 30. The default is 1. Note that a trace consists of a
series of transmitted probe packets.
-i <number> Specifies the initial time-to-live (TTL) value in number of hops, enabling you
to bypass the initial (often well known) portion of a path. Using this
argument, you can configure the trace to ignore hosts that are less than
the specified number of hops away from your Cuda 12000. Values range
from 0 (no initial TTL) to 255. The default is 1.
-m <number> Specifies the maximum TTL value in number of hops. When the Cuda
12000 sends a traceroute packet, the Cuda 12000 sets the TTL value in the
packet to the value you specify. Each time a router forwards the packet,
the router decrements this value by one. Routers discard packets that have
a TTL of zero. Values range from 1 to 255. The default is 30.
