Tracing a route
To determine the path through which a TurboIron device can reach another device, enter a command such as the following at any level of
the CLI on the TurboIron device.
TurboIron> traceroute 10.33.4.7
Syntax: traceroute
host-ip-addr
[maxttl
value
] [minttl
value
] [numeric] [timeout
value
] [source-ip
ip addr
]
The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received. Traceroute requests display all responses to
a given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the
Brocade
device displays up to three responses by
default.
