Usage Guidelines
This command traces the route an IP packet follows to an Internet host by launching UDP probe packets
with a small TTL (time to live) and then listening for an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) "time
exceeded" reply from a gateway.
Probes start with a TTL of one and increase by one until encountering an ICMP "port unreachable." This
Note
means that the host was accessed or a maximum flag was found. A line is printed showing the TTL,
address of the gateway, and round-trip time of each probe. If the probe answers come from different
gateways, the address of each responding system is printed.
Examples
The following example prints the route IP packets take to the network host www.cisco.com.
switch# traceroute www.cisco.com
traceroute to www.cisco.com (171.71.181.19), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
