To perform a trace test:
1
Select the Host you want to trace.
If the host you want to trace is not in the list, type the host name or IP address
in the Host box.
2 Click Trace.
The trace test begins, and you can watch its progress.
If you want to stop the trace test before it is complete, click Stop. This can be
useful if you see the problem before the test completes.
You can set options for the trace test, such as the number of hops per trace. See
"Setting host connection test options" on page 300
A trace test returns the following information:
• The selected host address with the maximum number of hops
• The host addresses traced
• The percentage of lost packets (the number of packets received divided by the
total number of packets sent)
• The average number of milliseconds per hop
Figure 136 shows the beginning of a trace test.
