Send an IPv6 traceroute
You can configure the switch to send a traceroute request to a specified IPv6 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
