If a ping request fails, the switch continues to send ping messages until interrupted. Press [Control] + C
to interrupt a
ping request. The statistics are tabulated after the ping is interrupted.
Traceroute
The traceroute command enables you to trace the routed path between the switch and a destination
endstation. The
traceroute command syntax is:
traceroute {vrid <vrid>} <host> {from <source IP address>} {ttl <number>} {port <port
number>}
where:
• ip_address is the IP address of the destination endstation.
• hostname is the hostname of the destination endstation. To use the hostname, you must first
configure DNS.
• from uses the specified source address in the ICMP packet. If not specified, the address of the
transmitting interface is used.
• ttl configures the switch to trace the hops until the time-to-live has been exceeded for the switch.
• port uses the specified UDP port number.
ttl Sets the IP header ttl value.
