Send A Traceroute Request - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Send a traceroute request

You can configure the AirBridge to send a traceroute request to an IPv4 address or host
name and view the results of the traceroute request. You can use this option to discover
the paths that packets take to a remote destination.
To send a traceroute request:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under Management, select Tools.
By default, the Ping tab is selected and the Ping Test Parameters page displays.
5. Select the Traceroute tab.
The Traceroute Test Parameters page displays.
6. In the Target IP / Domain Name field, enter the IP address or domain name for
which you want to send a traceroute request.
7. Click the Start button.
The AirBridge sends the traceroute request. By default, the traceroute request
consists of a 38-byte packet and can detect a maximum of 30 hops. The results
display on the page.
