Testing network connectivity
NOTE
If you send the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses to the ping.
Tracing a route
To determine the path through which the router can reach another network device, enter a command such as the following at any level of
the CLI.
Brocade# traceroute 192.33.4.7
Syntax: traceroute
<host-ip-addr>
[maxttl
<value>
] [minttl
<value>
] [numeric] [timeout
<value>
]
[source-ip
<ip addr>
]
The CLI displays
traceroute
information for each hop on the route as soon as the information is received.
Traceroute
requests display all
responses to a given TTL. If there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the router displays up to three responses by default.
