Parameter
-a: Specifies source IP address of the tracert packets, which is in the format of
X.X.X.X and must be the address of a local interface.
-f: Tests the correctness of the –f switch with first_TTL specifying an initial TTL in
the range of 0 to the maximum TTL.
-m: Tests the correctness of the –m switch with max_TTL specifying a maximum
TTL which can be any TTL larger than the initial TTL.
-p: Tests the correctness of the –p switch with port being an integer specifying the
port of the destination host. There is no need to change this option in normal
circumstances.
-q: Tests the correctness of the –q switch with nqueries specifying the number of
the query packets sent each time. It can be any integer larger than 0.

-w timeout: Tests the correctness of the –w switch with timeout specifying the
timeout time of IP packets. It is in seconds and can be any integer larger than 0.
host: IP address of the destination host.
Description
Using the tracert command, you can test the gateways that a packet sent by the
host will pass by in order to reach the destination for the purpose of testing the
reachability of a network connection and locating the position where faults occur
on the network.

The parameters –a and vpn-instance are omitted;
first_TTL is 1;
