Accessing the Switch
If a ping request fails, the switch continues to send ping messages until interrupted. Press [Ctrl] + 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 [vr <vrid>} | <host>] {from <source IP address>} {ttl <number>} {port <port
number>} {icmp}
where:
• from source IP address uses the specified source address in the ICMP packet. If not specified,
the address of the transmitting interface is used.
• host is the hostname of the destination endstation. To use the hostname, you must first configure
DNS.
• 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.
• icmp uses ICMP echo messages to trace the routed path.
host Specifies a IPv4 host to ping.
from Uses the specified source address. If not specified, the address of the transmitting
interface is used.
with record-route Sets the traceroute information.
