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>} {ipv4 <host>} {ipv6 <host>} {ttl <number>} {from <from>} {[port <port>]
| icmp}
Where:
• vr is the name of the virtual router.
• ipv4/ipv6 is the transport.
• from uses the specified source address in the ICMP packet. If not specified, the address
of the transmitting interface is used.
• host is the host 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.
Displaying Switch Information
To display basic information about the switch, use the following command:
show switch
