Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability.
Note
Switches running pre 5.2 firmware cannot use ports > 256 as a destination port on a remote switch.
Note
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
Operands
The following operands are optional:
domain
src_portnumber
dst_portnumber
"-r"
Without operands,
values for the source and destination ports can be -1, to indicate the embedded port. Reverse-path tracing
remains optional. In addition, this command prompts for following parameters:
max hops
basic stats
extended stats
source route
strict source rte
Timeout

arbitrary route across the fabric. The maximum hop count is enforced.
If the source route does not specify all the switches along a section of the path, a
further option allows to specify a strict versus a loose path. A strict source route
requires that only the specified switches are reported in the path description. If two
switches are specified back to back in the source route descriptor, but are not
directly connected, the switches in between will be ignored. In case of a loose
source route, the switches in between will be reported. The concepts of strict and
loose route apply to the portion(s) of the path described by domains, not to the part
described by output ports or areas.
ID of the destination domain. The command is optional. If omitted, the command
prompts for all operands, including whether basic and extended statistics should
be included.
Port or area whose path to the destination domain is sought. The default is
embedded port (-1). For bladed systems, the destination is specified as the area;
otherwise, it is the port. If the source port is -1 with no additional arguments, basic
statistics display for the route.
Port or area on the destination switch for each path being traced. This command
returns the state of this port or area. The default is embedded port (-1), or if a
destination port is specified that is not active. For bladed systems, the destination
is specified as the area; otherwise, it is the port.
Display reverse path in addition to forward path.
pathInfo prompts for the preceding operands. The value of domain is mandatory; the
The maximum number of hops that the
default is 25.
Requests the reporting of basic statistics on every link; default is no.
Requests the reporting of extended statistics on every link; default is no.
Specifies a sequence of switches or ports that the
default is no. Note that if an output port (or area) to the next hop is specified, the
user is not prompted for the domain of the next switch, which is determined by the
port (or area) specified. Default: No.
Specifies that the source route must be followed strictly as indicated, skipping
possible intermediate switches. When using this option, the source route hops
must be specified using domain rather than output port.
The maximum time allowed to wait for the response; default is 10 seconds.
