Tracing the Route of an IP Packet

Use the trace ip_address count command to display the route an IP packet takes to a destination. The
ip_address option is the address of the system to trace the route to. The count option lets you define how
many hops you want to take. The default is 4. The valid values are 1 to 256.
There is no command interrupt available for this command. It must run to completion.
Caution
To trace the route of an IP packet, follow these steps:
Log in to the CLI.
Step 1
Display the route of IP packet you are interested in:
Step 2
sensor# trace 10.1.1.1
traceroute to 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1), 4 hops max, 40 byte packets

To have the route take more hops than the default of 4, use the count option:
Step 3
sensor# trace 10.1.1.1 8
traceroute to 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1), 8 hops max, 40 byte packets
