Information
When you enter the traceroute command without specifying an IP address (Extended Traceroute),
you are prompted for a target and source IP address, timeout in seconds (default is 5), a probe count
(default is 3), minimum TTL (default is 1), maximum TTL (default is 30), and port number (default is
33434). To keep the default setting for those parameters, press the ENTER key.
For IPv6, you are prompted for a minimum hop count (default is 1) and a maximum hop count (default
is 64).
