Prerequisites; Using A Tracert Command To Identify Failed Or All Nodes In A Path; Tracert Example - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

6. The source device thinks that the packet has reached the destination device after receiving the
port-unreachable ICMP message, and the path to the destination device is 1.1.1.2 to 1.1.2.2 to
1.1.3.2.

Prerequisites

Before you use a tracert command, perform the tasks in this section.
For an IPv4 network:
Enable sending of ICMP timeout packets on the intermediate devices (devices between the source
•
and destination devices). If the intermediate devices are HP devices, execute the ip ttl-expires
enable command on the devices. For more information about this command, see Layer 3—IP
Services Command Reference.
Enable sending of ICMP destination unreachable packets on the destination device. If the
•
destination device is an HP device, execute the ip unreachables enable command. For more
information about this command, see Layer 3—IP Services Command Reference.
For an IPv6 network:
Enable sending of ICMPv6 timeout packets on the intermediate devices (devices between the
•
source and destination devices). If the intermediate devices are HP devices, execute the ipv6
hoplimit-expires enable command on the devices. For more information about this command, see
Layer 3—IP Services Command Reference.
Enable sending of ICMPv6 destination unreachable packets on the destination device. If the
•
destination device is an HP device, execute the ipv6 unreachables enable command. For more
information about this command, see Layer 3—IP Services Command Reference.
Using a tracert command to identify failed or all nodes in a
path
Execute tracert commands in any view.
Task
Display the routes from source to
destination.

Tracert example

Network requirements
As shown in
Test the network connectivity between Device A and Device C. If they cannot reach each other, locate the
failed nodes in the network.
Command

Figure 3, Device A failed to Telnet Device C.
For IPv4 networks:
tracert [ -a source-ip | -f first-ttl | -m max-ttl | -p port | -q packet-number
| -vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | -w timeout ] * host
For IPv6 networks:
tracert ipv6 [ -f first-hop| -m max-hops | -p port | -q packet-number |
-vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | -w timeout ] * host
