HAPTER YSTEM AINTENANCE OMMANDS
string: IP address of the destination host or the hostname of the remote system.
Description
Use the command to Using tracert command, you can check the reachability of
network connection and troubleshoot the network. User can test gateways passed
by the packets transmitted from the host to the destination.
By default, when the parameters are not specified,
The tracert command sends a packet with TTL 1, and the first hop will send an
ICMP error message back to indicate this packet cannot be transmitted (because
of TTL timeout). Then this packet will be sent again with TTL 2, and the second
hop will indicate a TTL timeout error. Perform this operation repeatedly till
reaching the destination. These processes are operated to record the source
address of each ICMP TTL timeout so as to provide a path to the destination for an
IP packet.
After ping command finds some error on the network, perform tracert to locate
the error.
The output of tracert command includes IP address of all the gateways to the
destination. If a certain gateway times out, output "***".
c
CAUTION: For the moment, you can not use the tracert command on the Switch
8800 Family routing switch to test whether the network connection is reachable
or analyze where the fault happens in the network in the MPLS domain.
