Traceroute
Traceroute discovers the IP routes along which packets were forwarded by sending an IP packet
to the target host and back to the device. The Traceroute page shows each hop between the
device and a target host, and the roundtrip time to each such hop.
1. Click Maintenance > Diagnostics > Traceroute.
2. Configure Traceroute by entering information into the following fields:
• Target—Select whether target hosts are identified by their IP address or name.
• IP Version—If the target host is identified by its IP address, select either IPv4 or
IPv6 to indicate that it will be entered in the selected format.
• IPv6 Address Type—Select the IPv6 address type (if IPv6 is used). The options are:
• Target IP Address—Select the target source interface whose IPv4 address will be
used as the source IPv4 address for communication messages. Only the existing IP
addresses of the type specified in the IP Version field will be displayed.
Target Name—Enter the target host name.
•
• TTL—Enter the maximum number of hops that Traceroute permits. This is used to
prevent a case where the sent frame gets into an endless loop. The Traceroute
command terminates when the destination is reached or when this value is
reached. To use the default value (30), select Use Default.
o Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single network
link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and can be
used for communication only on the local network. Only one link local
address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this
entry replaces the address in the configuration.
o Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and
reachable from other networks.
o Interface—If the IPv6 address type is Link Local, select from where it is
received.
