Traceroute
Traceroute
Traceroute is a diagnostic tool that provides information about the route a packet takes from the switch
to a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address as well as the amount of time it takes for the packet to reach its des-
tination.
Traceroute IPv4
Use this page to determine the Layer 3 path a packet takes from the device to a specific IP address or
hostname. When you initiate the traceroute command by clicking the Start button, the device sends a
series of traceroute probes toward the destination. The results list the IP address of each layer 3
device a probe passes through until it reaches its destination - or fails to reach its destination and is
discarded. The information you enter on this page is not saved as part of the device configuration.
