4.8.14 Traceroute (IPv4)
This page allows you to perform a traceroute test over IPv4 towards a remote host. traceroute is a diagnostic tool for displaying
the route and measuring transit delays of packets across an IPv4 network.
You can configure the following parameters for the test:
The Traceroute (IPv4) screen in Figure 4-8-14 appears.
Figure 4-8-14: Traceroute (IPv4) Page Screenshot
The page includes the following fields:
Object Description
Hostname or IP
Address
The destination IP Address.
DSCP Value This value is used for the DSCP value in the IPv4 header. The default value is 0.
The valid range is 0-63.
Number of Probes Per
Hop
Determines the number of probes (packets) sent for each hop. The default value
is 3. The valid range is 1-60.
Response Timeout Determines the number of seconds to wait for a reply to a sent request. The
default number is 3. The valid range is 1-86400.
First TTL Value Determines the value of the Time-To-Live (TTL) field in the IPv4 header in the
first packet sent. The default number is 1. The valid range is 1-30.
Max TTL Value Determines the maximum value of the Time-To-Live (TTL) field in the IPv4
header. If this value is reached before the specified remote host is reached the
test stops. The default number is 30. The valid range is 1-255
VID for Source
Interface
This field can be used to force the test to use a specific local VLAN interface as
the source interface. Leave this field empty for automatic selection based on
routing configuration.
Note: You may only specify either the VID or the IP Address for the source
interface.
IP Address for Source
Interface
This field can be used to force the test to use a specific local interface with the
specified IP address as the source interface. The specified IP address must be
configured on a local interface. Leave this field empty for automatic selection
based on routing configuration.
Note: You may only specify either the VID or the IP Address for the source
interface.
Use ICMP instead of
UDP
By default the traceroute command will use UDP datagrams. Selecting this
option forces it to use ICMP ECHO packets instead.
