traceroute

This command provides the ability to trace the route of packets originated from TN

IP circuit packs through the LAN. The output shows the ip address of each router

or host (hop) that the packets encounter and the time elapsed between each hop.

If a TN IP circuit pack has trouble communicating with a far-end device, the

traceroute command can determine "how far" packets get toward the destination.

TN IP circuit packs include:

TN799B (or later suffix) C-LAN board

TN802B Medpro board

TN2302 IP Medpro board

The output form lists:

Hops traversed from source to destination

IP addresses of the hop points and the final destination

Observed round-trip delay from the source to each hop point

If no reply is received from a potential hop point, the IP Address field contains

stars (*), which indicates a timeout condition.

The primary use of this command is to determine quickly and unambiguously if

the fault lies within Avaya-provided equipment or if the fault is with the LAN or

LAN administration to which the server switch is connected.
