Traceroute; Cli Example - Dell POWERCONNECT 6200 SERIES Configuration Manual

Traceroute

Use Traceroute to discover the routes that packets take when traveling on a hop-by-hop basis to their
destination through the network.
• Maps network routes by sending packets with small Time-to-Live (TTL) values and watches the ICMP
time-out announcements
• Command displays all L3 devices
• Can be used to detect issues on the network
• Tracks up to 30 hops
• Default UDP port uses 33434 unless modified in the traceroute command

CLI Example

The following shows an example of using the traceroute command to determine how many hops there
are to the destination. The command output shows each IP address the packet passes through and how
long it takes to get there. In this example, the packet takes 16 hops to reach its destination.
