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
To send an IPv4 traceroute:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
